Description Andrea Aime 2002-04-19 14:09:09 UTC

(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           konqueror
Version:           KDE 3.0.5 CVS/CVSup/Snapshot
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.96
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Not Specified

While browsing on a ftp site I chose 200
files and asked konqueror to download them
(via F7 copy to). When the download is initiated it seems that konqueror verifies
the existence of every file and that is
incredibly slow so slow that got to
the command line and used ftp and mget
which were very fast (150 Kbytes/sec +)
It seems to me that konqueror open a new ftp
connection every time it verifies a file...
I've noticed this too when copying from Samba
shares (less slow since they are local PCs)
and extracting only a few files from a tar.gz
(seems the file gets decompressed many times)

The problem is still there. To give you an example, go  to ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/contrib/texstar/screenshots,  select all the files and press F7, copy to a temporary directory.  (anonymous login may be required) Over an ISDN line I can see a very slow file count, the  number is increasing once a second or so... very slow compared to an ftp client...

Replaced aaime@libero.it with hhielscher@unternehmen.com due to bounces by reporter

Error:  I am having trouble loading java 1.4.2 on konqueror 3.1.3, Java works fine with mozilla but now konqueror. Kon is recongnizing the java plugins but it still isn't working.

Is this bug still present in a recent version of KDE, such as 3.5.8 or KDE 4 RC2?

Comment 6 George Goldberg 2008-02-15 03:44:02 UTC

Closing due to no response. Please reopen if this bug can be reproduced with KDE >= 4.0.1
