Wanted
The Wanted page tracks all absent and upcoming issues across your subscribed series and bookmarked reading lists.
The top toolbar provides three global actions:
Refresh
Re-scans all series on your Pull List to recalculate wanted and missing counts based on your active library files.
Scan Download Directory
Scans your download directory to detect and process any newly completed files deposited since the last pass.
Check for Missing Issues
Manually initiates an automated search sweep for wanted issues across all enabled download sources (GetComics, Usenet, and DC++), ranked according to your configured Source Priority.
Active sweeps report progress directly into the Active Operations indicator in the top navigation bar. If a scheduled sweep is already in progress, additional triggers stand down to avoid redundant concurrent requests.
Missing Issues
The Missing Issues section lists all uncollected issues whose official Store Date has already passed, ordered chronologically from oldest to newest.
Search for Missing Issues
You can search for any missing issue across your download providers directly within CLU:
- Click the Search button next to any missing issue.
- A unified search modal opens, querying GetComics, Usenet indexers, and DC++ concurrently. Results are grouped by source under prioritized section headers.
- If necessary, adjust search keywords to refine queries for difficult-to-find titles:
- Click the Download button on any result to dispatch the file to your download client.
From Reading Lists
The From Reading Lists section displays missing issues sourced from tracked reading lists.
This section appears whenever Track Wanted is toggled on for at least one reading list. Unmatched entries in tracked lists are treated as wanted issues and queried during automated nightly download sweeps.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Series | The series title recorded in the reading list. |
| Issue | The issue number required by the list. |
| Year | The publication year (if recorded by the source list). |
| Reading List | The source reading list containing the missing entry. |
| Actions | Single-click search across your configured download sources. |
Search Logic for Reading List Entries
- Back-catalogue entries without dates: Unlike future series solicitations (which wait for an announced store date before searching), reading list entries lacking a publication year are presumed to be released back-catalogue issues and are actively searched.
- 7-Day Cooldown: If an issue download fails or cannot be unpacked, CLU applies a 7-day cooldown to prevent re-downloading the same broken archive every night.
- Invalid entries excluded: Entries with missing series names or blank issue numbers are automatically excluded from search sweeps.
- Instant sync: Mapping a missing file by hand removes it from this section immediately, and clearing a mapping restores it.
Upcoming Issues
The Upcoming Issues section lists future releases for your subscribed series, ordered by their announced Store Date. Once an issue's store date arrives, it automatically transitions into the Missing Issues list if it has not yet been acquired.
