If the others work, it means that the rest cannot be downloaded by third-party APIs. I only made the request, and the problem is beyond my control.

I think you misunderstood. I'm not talking about downloading the files. I'm talking about checking existing local files on a second run of the download all.

I downloaded the discography once and it had a couple preview tracks instead of full tracks. I then deleted those tracks and then changed the source and restarted the download all.

The first download did near 1000 tracks as you can see in the image but when starting the same download a second or third time it says it finds 0 local files so it has to go through every single song to check. But you can then see it's skipping soooo many songs because the local files already exist from the previous download.

This wasn't the issue 2 or so versions ago. It would check existing local files and only bother calling the api for the songs it didn't find on disk.
