Download Clients

Download Clients is where you connect Scryer to your download clients — each entry is a Scryer-side configured provider instance for a download client integration.

Plugin-backed provider

entries are configured provider instances. The available fields come from the installed plugin and its provider catalog metadata. This page covers what Scryer needs to store and test for the configured connection.

Working In Download Clients

If Scryer is finding releases but nothing is being sent to your download client, check that the instance here is enabled and that the connection fields are correct before looking at routing or rules.

If you just installed a download client plugin, create the provider instance here before assigning it in facet Routing settings — routing can only reference instances that already exist.

To add a client, choose an installed provider type, enter the connection fields that provider requires, and test or validate the connection when the UI exposes that action. You can also edit, disable, or remove existing instances. Keep instance names stable so facet routing pages stay easy to understand.

The usual order is: install or update the required plugin, then create the configured provider instance here. Disable an instance before removing it from routing rules, and after editing one, validate a single controlled workflow to confirm routing still points at the intended connection.
