Bug Description

Variety does not auto-download and I need to manually quit and relaunch it. It downloads 1 image, then stops again. Have tried different intervals for download, limit and not limit folder. It downloads only on start

What have you set for the "Download a wallpaper every X minutes/hours/days" option? The lowest value that supports is 1 minute.

Er, misread... (I wish launchpad would let you edit comments)

On another note, which source(s) are you trying to download from? Some like Die.net IIRC only have one "photo" available at a time.

Perhaps try setting the "Download a wallpaper" interval to the lowest and seeing if any errors pop up in ~/.config/variety/variety.log (attach a copy here)
