What happened?

When trying to download episodes from a podcast I subscribe to, I get the error message that the request is too big.

What did you expect to happen?

I would have expected the Find episodes to also work on a large number of podcasts.

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Choose a podcast with 2000 episodes backlog (I only know the german gaming podcast The Pod which requires a subscription though.
  2. Add the podcast
  3. Execute "Find files"

Audiobookshelf version

2.21.0

How are you running audiobookshelf?

Windows Tray App

What OS is your Audiobookshelf server hosted from?

Windows

If the issue is being seen in the UI, what browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Logs


Additional Notes

No response

To be clear, you are specifically trying to download all episodes, correct? Or in the case of your screenshot 1,982 episodes.
