When a bug tracker is inside the exclusive walled-gardens of MS Github or Gitlab.com, and you cannot or will not enter, where do you file your bug report? Here, of course. This is a refuge where you can report bugs that are otherwise unreportable due to technical or ethical constraints.

⚠of course there are no guarantees it will be seen by anyone relevant. Hopefully some kind souls will volunteer to proxy the reports.

Many bugs in Navi (download manager for Android) (sopuli.xyz)

Navi is an app in f-droid to manage downloads. It’s really tedious to use because there is no way to import a list of URLs. You either have to tap out each URL one at a time, or you have to do a lot of copy-paste from a text file. Then it forces you to choose filename for each download -- it does not default to the name of the source file.

bug 1

For a lot files it gives:

Error: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.

The /details/ page for the broken download neglects to give the error message, much less what the error means.

bug 2

Broken downloads are listed under a tab named “completed”.

bug 3

Every failed fetch generates notification clutter that cannot be cleaned up. I have a dozen or so notifications of failed downloads. Tapping the notification results in no action and the notification is never cleared.

bug 4

With autostart and auto connect both disabled, Navi takes the liberty of making download attempts as soon as there is an internet connection.

bug 5?

A web browser is apparently built-in. Does it make sense to embed a web browser inside a download manager?
