One crucial fix for API and web downloads:

  • Fixed a race where the hourly cleanup job deleted files from mid-download

You might remember the update on 2026-05-01, introducing "File dates now match post date"

This backfired with the hourly cleanup job. This is a job that removed downloaded files so it doesn't hog up storage.

The job used file modification time to find "old" files, but with the update from may 1st, it saw a file timestamped from 2022 and deleted it seconds after it was downloaded. Causing errors in zipping or uploading because the file got removed before it was served to the user.
