Description
What's New — v0.6.3
Download Reliability Patch — SHA256 integrity check, batch enqueue API deferral (instant queueing for large batches), thread-safe cancel, and Aria2 auto-reconnect after RPC failures.
🔒 SHA256 integrity check — after every download completes, the file is verified against CivitAI's expected hash; corrupted or truncated files are caught and removed automatically ⭐
⚡ Instant batch enqueue — API metadata calls are now deferred to download time instead of enqueue time; queuing 10 models is now as fast as queuing 1 ⭐
🧵 Thread-safe cancel —
download_cancel/download_cancel_allnow usethreading.Eventinstead of a busy-waitwhile Trueloop ⭐🔄 Aria2 auto-reconnect — if the Aria2 RPC process crashes or becomes unreachable during a download, the extension automatically restarts it and re-adds the download ⭐
⚠️ Skipped model feedback — if a model can't be loaded during batch queueing, a visible error banner appears in the Download Manager instead of silently dropping it
