*** Bug 115613 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** "would it be possible to limit the download bandwith, not globally as it is now" I don't have this option and i have 0.8.4 version too. Where is this option? Comment #2: I'm also not aware of this option. IMHO in kget 0.8.5 these options are not available. Especially for office envirenments it's a must to limit the download bandwidth, because it disturbs all other users. if ever the code is based on wget, it shouldn't be a big problem to implement this.

Just be patient. The work on kget 2 is going on. We already have a multithread plugin that, not being based on KioSlaves anymore, should make us possible to implement these bandwidth limits. > if ever the code is based on wget, it shouldn't be a big problem to > implement this. KGet isn't based on wget, sorry, not even a single line of code is taken from it. Best regards, Dario I want to add my support for this wish. Kget REALLY needs bandwidth throttling. This is a key feature of any download manager. Urlgrabber may have some code that could be useful to the project since this can have throttling: http://linux.duke.edu/projects/urlgrabber/ This would be a handy feature to have in KGet. So I'm in for supporting this feature as well. Best regards, Chris. I too would like this feature implemented. Hi! Currently Manolo works on bandwidths limiting, it will not be for 4.0, but for 4.1... :-) Cheers Lukas Seems OK with kde 4.1.3 and kget 2.1.3. I think it can be closed. Yeah you can for torrents, but KIO is not supporting this still... so I will leave this open for now ;) Lukas There is an option in the settings dialogue, where to set the speed limit, however it is of no use for me, because I can only select between 0 and 99 KiB/s. I have a connection of ~360Kib/s and I want to set it to 320 Kib/s but I cannot. @Volkmar: Already fixed ;) Lukas *** Bug 177656 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 176059 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I confirm this bug on kde 4.2.00 and kget 2.2.0 I can set the bandwightlimit to any rate but it is ignored by kget. however, thanks for great job on kde Created attachment 30764 [details]
Startprotocol of kget
So, hier is my output from terminal by kget lounch(kget startprotokoll.txt).
In my kget config is: [Network] GlobalDownloadLimit=200 SpeedLimit=true
I'm on KDE 4.2.0 and KGet 2.2.0 on Kubuntu, and neither the global KGet bandwidth limit, nor the "per-file" limit work. KGet ignores those settings. Thanks and keep up the good work! Using KDE 4.2.2, Kget 2.2.2 and bandwidth throttling does not work. I can set global limits, but it does not work. Right clicking on the transfer pops up a dialog with greyed out settings. So, +1 for me to include proper bandwidth throttling with Kget. Thanks! I'd like bandwidth throttling too! Yes, bandwidth limiting would be good if it actually worked. Why does it still not work after this many years? The KGet part of this is already mostly there (and the rest is no problem to do). KIO is the factor which is harder to do and unless anybody steps up and fixes it in there, there won't be speedlimits for http/ftp-transfers in KGet... Lukas |
