Question: how do i skip files with errors?

[Butterfly-Dragon]

Some galleries have files that have been uploaded wrong and they get tried every time.

How do i skip them so that gallery-dl tries to re-download them only if it sees that they have been changed?

It's probably written in the man, but i can't find where.

that have been uploaded wrong

Do you mean they have the wrong filename extension?
There is the downloader.http.adjust-extensions option, which causes gallery-dl to "correct" those errors (see also #776)

I plan on improving the current implementation in the next version, so it doesn't re-download those files. For the time being you could disable this option or use a download archive.

Oh! That's neat!

no, i got a gallery that tried several times to download files telling me their downloaded file size was wrong. I wanted them to just makr the file and proceed to the next one, but it just kept repeating

Hmm, no there is nothing that covers such a case. I guess you could reduce the amount of retries or create an empty file with the same name, so it skips that file.

hmmm... no. That is a problem.

My connection is highly unreliable so i start it in the morning to check about a thousand galleries by noon or mid afternoon it should be done. Sometimes later if the connection dies.

is there a way to send in a key combination like the classic CTRL+C normally used to abort, so that Gallery-dl asks me what to do? usual "abort single, abort gallery, abort process, cancel and continue"?
