I have an http image download script that runs every five minutes. I DO NOT have the disable job on failure set. The job will fail every now and again, just due to the foreign site being unreachable or the destination drive being unreachable. When this happens the job will run a couple of more times and then disable itself. Is this a bug? Is there a way around it? Below is a sample from the log. Notice some of the other jobs fail, but they continue to run.

That is not true or the GUI is not telling the truth. On Step 5, I have nothing checked, on Step 6 I have nothing checked, Step 7 is empty, and on Step 8 I have nothing checked. Am I perhaps looking in the wrong place.

: "Ignore job errors" option

What version are you on?
Have you tried the most recent version 2.4.9?

I'm on version 2.4.1, I'll try the new one and see how it works.
