Patch shipped: v1.6.224 — your dashboard now shows exactly why nothing is downloading + a safety net for every box
Posted by tomspark
Two big quality-of-life upgrades tonight: 1. New download health strip on Home. It checks the five links in the chain — VPN, download app, indexers, storage, and importing into your library — and points at exactly which one is broken, in plain English, with the fix one click away. If you've ever stared at a stuck download wondering which part is the problem: this is for you, and it's free for everyone. 2. Every SparkBox now watches itself. Crashed apps get restarted automatically, a filling disk gets a clear red warning that names WHICH disk, and after a power cut SparkBox puts itself back together at boot instead of waiting for you to notice. This protection used to be supporter-only — now every box gets the safety floor (supporters keep webhook alerts, earlier warnings, and tunable thresholds). Also fixed: the "no indexers yet" warning banner could never actually appear on standard installs, and the emergency disk cleanup had a hidden bug that meant it never ran. Both work now — all of this verified on real hardware including a full reboot test. Get it with: sudo sparkbox update
