Siac Download Queue
DavidVorick opened this issue · comments
Currently, to identify a download in the download queue, siac has to grab the full list of downloads from the api, and then iterate over them. It compares the source and destination for a match to the download that it is looking for, which isn't complete, as you could potentially download the same file to the same destination multiple times.
Instead, when you create a download you should be given a UID for the download that you can use to query the API for information about that download specifically. And then you should have an endpoint which allows you to fetch only that download from the download queue (much less data to receive and iterate over), so that we can make download progress checking more efficient.
This is a particular performance concern because siac requests the download queue repeatedly while it is reporting the progress of a file.
