Description Joachim Eibl 2004-04-10 21:22:13 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:          Linux

Is there a way to adjust how many parallel jobs are launched by konqueror, when an HTML-page contains many images?
What is the current value?
For some distant, slow responding servers the download speed would increase, if the number of parallel jobs could be set on a bigger value (e.g. >20).

Cheers,
Joachim

PS: On Windows this value can be adjusted via registry and for some sites it has a big effect.

Note: By jobs I mean KIO-download jobs.

I think that's already possible with some cfg entry, Waldo?

Already implemented for every protocol KDE supports, not just kio_http for a while now. Simply look for the .protocol file, e.g. http.protocol in your system, open the file and change the values of the "maxInstances" and/or "maxInstancesPerHost" to your liking.  

maxInstances determines how many instances of the given ioslave can be running at any given time while "maxInstancesPerHost" restricts how many ioslaves will service a request to a given host. Of course, the latter is only applicable to ioslaves that connect to remote hosts.
