Description Elmar Stellnberger (AT/K) 2009-10-15 18:50:27 UTC
Version:           2.3.1 (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 3", openSUSE Factory)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.31.1-3-desktop

  Although I have set a download speed maximum of 120 KB/s for kget I get a speed of 213 KB/s for the download I have just started (http). Limiting download speed would be a good thing because it ensured the responsiveness of my internet connection.
Comment 1 Lukas Appelhans 2009-10-20 22:01:23 UTC
Well the limiting is just not implemented for the http/ftp protocol... for bittorrent it should work...

Comment 2 Dario Massarin 2009-12-28 23:28:11 UTC
Lukas, here for the next kget version I think it's better to specify this thing in the settings page. It's absolutely not clear.
Comment 3 Dmitry Roshchin 2010-03-09 15:22:38 UTC
Yes, it will be great to control download speed on http/ftp protocols.

Please make this working some how. You don't exactly endear yourself when you max out the entire internet connection which you share with other people...

Comment 8 Matthias Fuchs 2011-08-12 10:23:12 UTC
We might be able to implement download speed maximum for the ftp protocol.

The problem is that we use kio internally and that currently does not support this feature. Using KIO has its advantages though like proxy support etc.
Comment 9 Tushar Mehta 2011-08-12 17:46:20 UTC
Hey Matthias...:)

I have tried implementing rate control in ftp kio slave. I have already sent two patches in KDE review board. Can you try it on?

1st patch: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102267/
2nd patch: https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/102307/

Apply in this order.

Let me know if you are getting some problem.
Comment 10 Matthias Fuchs 2011-08-17 19:20:42 UTC
Lukas tried the first patch at DS and it worked nice. I have no time trying it the next week, but I hope to be able to look into it from them.

A general problem is that kdelibs master is frozen and there won't be a feature release of it anymore for the 4.x series. Let's see if you can get it in nonetheless.

Comment 12 Myriam Schweingruber 2012-06-21 19:58:57 UTC
Has this been implemented since or is it still open with current 2.8.90?
Comment 13 Michael Reiher 2012-06-21 20:23:25 UTC
At least with HTTP (which I use 99% of the time) it's still the same. No bandwidth limit.
Comment 14 Lukas Appelhans 2012-07-06 11:38:55 UTC
Yes, it is still not implemented for http/ftp...

Just tried to download link http://kde-applicationdata.mirrors.omnilance.com/neon/images/user/20210304-0945/neon-user-20210304-0945.iso with download speed limit set to the 5 KiB/s.

But I see that real download speed is around 6 MiB/s. So bug still there with us.
Comment 20 Yaroslav Sidlovsky 2021-03-10 15:31:49 UTC
Forgot to specify kget version: 20.12.3.
