`repertory` supports 3 different types of downloads for files: `direct`, 'ring_buffer`, and `direct`. `repertory` supports 3 different download modes for reading and writing files: `default`, 'ring_buffer`, and `direct`.
The `PreferredDownloadType` setting in `config.json` determines which of these modes is preferred. This does not guarantee the mode will always be chosen, as `repertory` will choose an appropriate mode based on the type of file operation being performed. If a file is currently open in read mode and a request to write is performed, the file will automatically be changed to `default` mode without any interruptions to file i/o.
