Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8)

Hi,

I would like to be able to "retry" when a transfer is "stalled", sometimes it is really anoying, that the whole routine has to be restarted...
Comment 1 Stephan Kulow 2005-04-08 23:09:48 UTC
that's the task of a download manager
Comment 2 Daniel Sørensen 2005-04-08 23:11:51 UTC
Well, couldn't it be a standard-feature? - It's widely usable.
Comment 3 Daniel Sørensen 2005-04-08 23:16:23 UTC
Maybe even a maximum-speed selector? - Also as a stansard!
Comment 4 Stephan Binner 2005-04-14 11:29:31 UTC
Is this really about kget or the general kio dialogs?
Comment 5 Daniel Sørensen 2005-04-14 14:26:04 UTC
I dont know whether it's the kget or kio dialog...

Is kget the stock-download manager of KDE?
Comment 6 Enrico Ros 2005-04-14 14:37:53 UTC
yes, kget is the download manager in the kdenetwork package that integrates with konqueror too. in the KDE4 version (currently developing in make_it_cool branch) this will take a primary role in managing every type of download/transfer.
Comment 7 Daniel Sørensen 2005-06-19 18:09:24 UTC
To be honest, I thought that I was seeing kget, when I was really seeing kio dialogs. 

The bugreport was about the kio-dialogs. 

A button named "Advanced" could reveal any or all of the following options. Considering how often kio-dialogs are displayed to users, scalability could be nice.
The checkbox "Keep this window open..." could be a part of "Advanced", but what about "Limit speed to: XX kB/s" and "Retry (listbox: max 10(?)) times"?
Also the "Open folder"-button could be moved into "Advanced".

What do you think about my wishes?

Who should I reassign this to? - and how do I do that?

Thanks,

The scheduler already retrys downloading, you can also do that manually by stopping a transfer and then pressing Start/Resume.
