Version: v0.8.3 (using KDE 3.1.94 (CVS >= 20031206), Gentoo) Compiler: gcc version 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r3, propolice) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.4.22-ck1 Kget is not doing what it should as "download manager". When the connection is interupted on my firewall/router/server , kget says "stalled" for the interrupted download. It will not resume automatically, despite the fact that there is a setting that should take care of timeouts and retrying under "reconnect options". Manually pausing and and requeing DOES work however. The need of manual intervention defies the purpose of a dl manager in my opinion. This is mot most important thing it should do. The downloading PC is connected to a lan and accesses internet through a firewall/ server/ router, running linux. BTW. This Serious shortcoming of kget was already here in version 3.1.2 of kde. I thought it would have been dealt with in the kde 3.2 cvs i am running...;-)
I can confirm this for kget 0.8.3 (kde 3.1.4, suse 9.0). Once a download is interrupted, it is marked as "delayed" and only resumed after manually "queued" again. The entries in "preferences->connection-tab->reconnecting options" are all set. This is a dial-up connection.
I have send in a patch that fixes this. Is in CVS now.
*** Bug has been marked as fixed ***.
