Description

Have an option in settings to enable fail-fast, where download errors stop the downloads altogether.

For example, if I am downloading 5 accounts and 2nd account failed, fail-fast makes the download stop entirely.

Currently, the download still continues to the last 3 accounts despite failing 2nd account, which makes the failure very hard to notice.

The main reason for this suggestion is simply to have some way to make the failures much more obvious, so I can notice easily which accounts have failed the downloads.

Alternatively, there can be some storage in the DB to store failed download statuses etc.

This is up to you, thanks! 👍

I am adding to this since some account may get deleted or changed in id that makes the whole fetching stopping and I will need to choose the accounts again and it's somehow wasting of time

Update: the download errors may be related to issue #40 by @ryusakura.

Would also greatly appreciate if those are accounted for. Thanks!

I'm closing this because it’s no longer relevant to the latest version, as the tech stack has changed.
