We have a new image proxy service coming in the next week or so which should make a big difference to data usage. Some of the artwork in feeds can get pretty large and currently we don’t do anything to reduce the size.
I keep finding nostr:nprofile1qqsx2wyjt6lmvc05rrvv05r5hm3w3t7h0pcpmkyswrpd4ymd2u09tscpz3mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduq3kamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu339e682mnwv4k8xct5wvhxxmmdqywhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68yttsw43zuam9d3kx7unyv4ezumn9wscn3xgh to be quite a data hog despite having the Downloads preset for Wifi only.
Is that a common issue?

Maybe it's worth looking at it closer here.
Today, I was more cautious about it.
- The app closed itself down while I kept the podcast paused for an hour or two
- I sit back in the car, open the app to continue to play something
- it starts with updating and downloading the nostr feed (unnecessary at that point; slows things down, and wastes the data
- I go back to the library. And without swiping down, it itself refreshes the library, and starts downloading all the new episodes, despite presetting the downloads for WiFi only... 🤨
- I think that's probably how I've been always wasting my mobile data in last months over the first few days of the month. I assume the nostr feed was just a marginal contribution to this.
- This started in December. I didn't have problems with it before.
- for now, I switched to only manual downloads, and it seems to respect that choice. ✅
