Description Alexander Sashnov 2006-05-27 17:23:02 UTC

Version:           0.8.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:                Linux

Seems KGet currently does not support continue of break download by smb resource.

It is possible to simple add it? I mean this is only need to add a positioning in file, smb protocol supports it.

I just found smbget in Debian testing repository, you can look how it implemented there:

Package: smbget
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.2-1), libpopt0 (>= 1.7), libsmbclient (>= 2.2.2-11)
Description: Downloader for the SMB/CIFS protocol
 smbget is a simple wget-like tool for the SMB/CIFS protocol.
 .
 Features:
  * Resume

KGet uses for SMB the KIO functionality of KDE.

Is this still a problem? I am sure I've seen transfer-resume support in kio smb.

Comment 4 Alexander Sashnov 2020-02-13 08:35:10 UTC

Actually currently is worse :)  KGet-19.04 doesn't support smb:// protocol.

Tested on Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-31-1.9.iso

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open Dolphin filemanager

2. point to any local SMB resource, for ex. Ctrl+L, smb://192.168.1.208  ENTER

3. Pick any file, right-click and choose 'Download using KGet'

4. As it's the first run of KGet, it will ask about Enable or not integration with Konqueror as the download manager. I chose 'Do Not Enable'. It doesn't matter I think.

Actual result:

Popup at the right bottom showed:

> Protocol unsupported
The following URL cannot be downloaded, its protocol is not supported by KGet:smb://192.168.1.208/Public/IMG_20130731_133215.jpg


Expected result:

The download should at least be started, so I can test if it can re-get now.
