Description mtz.inc .. 2009-10-09 02:37:45 UTC 
Version:           2.2.0 (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources


using amarok 2.2.0

currently, amarok downloads podcasts into memory and then commits them to disk when it has downloaded the whole podcast. 

This is ok if a podcast is 15MB big but its not when a video cast is 500MB. trying to download two videocast each 400+ MB and amarok will  starve everybody else for memory and will freeze for all the time it will take committing the file to disk 

can amarok download the files the way firefox does it? by creating a .part file and write straight to disk?
