Bug 234906

It would be very usefull if you started KGet from the console and posted the debug output. Also links to these files might also work.

Please also go to Settings/Configure Kget ../Plugins/ and check which plugins are activated there as well as what their settings are. What is activated? Multisegkio, KIO ..?

That is quiet interesting the screenshoot of the plugins looks like you don't have the KGet shipped with KDE 4.4 SC, the version number you posted of KGet supports this (should be 2.4.2).

So please install the correct KGet version and reopen if it still fails there.

Even after update,the problem does exist

As can be seen,the version was updated to 4.4.2 series,Opensuse Factory.One of the three files got downloaded.But the other two remain stalled.

The messages of kget-4.4 on the konsole

This is the long endless writing to konsole.Kget cannot be stopped from writing to konsole with ctrl+c.
My konsole could give me only this much from the end.

Hmmm, the output indicates that resuming is not supported by the webserver. Did it stall when adding the downloads initially or when closing KGet and starting it again at a later point?

What kind of internet connection do you have? Was downloading from that server very fast or rather slow?

One thing you could try is go to the settings, choose network there and if "Reconnect ..." is activated increase the time there, then restart the downloads and see if it works.

Stalled when resumed.

I set it to 50.But same behaviour.
Your suggestion that server is not supporting is correct.But should kget not download from the beginning then?
That is the behaviour of IE which never supported resumption.

Firefox is smarter.It does not let you pause!Notifies,it cannot be paused.

I think kget should adopt both these behaviours.First do not let pause.If forcibly paused,say , by killing, then when beginning next time,start all over again.It should inform the user. I got baffled.
I think the whole thing is lack of proper handling of server not supporting resumption.
May I close it?

Sorry,I hastened in concluding.

After closing the bug,I saw chrome browser in which I had paused and restarted had downloaded about 50% and was continuing.I paused again,resumed again,it continued from where left off.So,there is resumption support in the server.THIS SEEMS TO BE A BUG IN KGET.
This is the link.You may play with the link to understand it better.

http://ping.windowsdream.com/ping/Releases/3.00.04/PING-3.00-WithAddons.iso

I just tried that link with KGet 4.4.3 and it worked gere without problems. I stopped it, resumed it, closed KGet, restarted KGet, stopped it and resumed it all without problems.

So I can't reproduce the issue you face.

You are right,it is working for me too after an update.I do not know what bothered it previously.

Thanks for the understanding.
