This feature was added so users could quickly re-add expired or missing items back to their account. If a download failed due to an error outside of TorBox's control, it will likely fail again, and there is little reason to continue retrying the download.
Conditions and Concerns
Torrents
Torrents cannot be private.
If the torrent was originally created using a magnet link, TorBox will use that, otherwise using the hash, we will create the torrent again using the hash.
Keep in mind that if the download didn't have any seeders and failed due to being "incomplete", it is highly likely it will fail again.
Usenet Downloads
Must have originally been uploaded using a URL.
We do not store NZB files, so downloads created using NZB files cannot be added.
If the link has expired or is no longer accessible, the download will fail.
Keep in mind that if the download failed due to not being available from our provider, it is highly likely it will fail again.
Web Downloads
Must have originally been uploaded using a URL.
If the link has expired or is no longer accessible, the download will fail.
Keep in mind that if the download failed due to a hoster issue, it is highly likely it will fail again.
