Version: unknown (using KDE 3.3.2, (3.1)) Compiler: gcc version 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8) OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.9-4 Hi, I would like to be able to "retry" when a transfer is "stalled", sometimes it is really anoying, that the whole routine has to be restarted...
that's the task of a download manager
Well, couldn't it be a standard-feature? - It's widely usable.
Maybe even a maximum-speed selector? - Also as a stansard!
Is this really about kget or the general kio dialogs?
I dont know whether it's the kget or kio dialog... Is kget the stock-download manager of KDE?
yes, kget is the download manager in the kdenetwork package that integrates with konqueror too. in the KDE4 version (currently developing in make_it_cool branch) this will take a primary role in managing every type of download/transfer.
To be honest, I thought that I was seeing kget, when I was really seeing kio dialogs. The bugreport was about the kio-dialogs. A button named "Advanced" could reveal any or all of the following options. Considering how often kio-dialogs are displayed to users, scalability could be nice. The checkbox "Keep this window open..." could be a part of "Advanced", but what about "Limit speed to: XX kB/s" and "Retry (listbox: max 10(?)) times"? Also the "Open folder"-button could be moved into "Advanced". What do you think about my wishes? Who should I reassign this to? - and how do I do that? Thanks,
The scheduler already retrys downloading, you can also do that manually by stopping a transfer and then pressing Start/Resume.
