Ignore missing chapters

You want to perform update manga after moving downloaded chapters to another place but mangadex-downloader keeps downloading the missing chapters. How to avoid this ?

Worry not the --ignore-missing-chapters is your option.

Simple add --ignore-missing-chapters to the CLI arguments and the missing chapters won’t be downloaded anymore

Warning

This option cannot be used with --no-track option

Example usage:

# We try to perform clean download
# Meaning that, the manga is not downloaded yet
mangadex-dl "insert URL here" -f cbz 

# After that the manga is downloaded.
# And you moving the chapters to somewhere else
# and now the downloaded chapters are gone moved to another place
...

# If you want to update it,
# but do not want to re-download the missing chapters
# simply add --ignore-missing-chapters option
mangadex-dl "The same URL you downloaded" -f cbz --ignore-missing-chapters

And done, the missing chapters won’t be downloaded anymore.
