I see turning off the screen may be confusing.

I'll eventually add that to the setting page and have it off by default. Then people have to opt into using it, then they shouldn't be surprised. I'll increase the time limit to 60 seconds too, eventually make it a customizable value.

Right now, I'm focusing on download queue improvements. Will be pretty nice.

Take a look at the new video I sent to you in private.

Maybe instead of turning off both screens would it be possible to turn off one screen and dim the other with a message saying that FREeShop is "sleeping" and any downloads are still going and to press any button to "wake" the 3DS?

Just an idea to consider. Not sure if that would actually be possible. Thinking about it now I'm pretty sure retroarch is able to do something similar so I do know it would be possible, but not sure how convenient that would be.

Be more specific.

I have been through the video showing the two problems that are being presented to @TheCruel see.

I just thought something like the screens turn off and stay off but once it's finished downloading something the screen will turn back on by itself letting you know that it has finished, if possible.

And does it continue the download in sleep mode?
No. But it does continue when the screens turn off after 30 seconds of inactivity.

Probably preferable to play a sound.

Yeah. I was just saying that because people talk about being confused by the empty screens. Maybe could also have the screen that is only dimmed have a progress bar on it. But there's are simply just suggestions for @TheCruel

Maybe (in the distant future aka soon™) a dark screensaver with currently downloading titles and their progress shown?
