Description zuvfuu 2025-02-18 06:20:29 UTC 
SUMMARY
KGet spams the journald log with an enormous number of identical debug messages in the form of:
"Recalculate limits? false"
occasionally interrupted by: 
"My Downloads"
(the name of the currently used transfer group).

This messages provide no useful information and are frankly just annoying.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a download in KGet
2. Open KSystemLog to view the journald log
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
KGet generates thousands of log messages.

EXPECTED RESULT
Limit the number of log entries to a sane amount.
Ideally provide the option to set the log level in the KGet settings.
