Description Cédric Brun 2004-08-20 14:09:12 UTC
Version:           v0.8.4 (using KDE 3.2.3, Mandrake Linux Cooker i586 - Cooker)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.4.1 (Mandrakelinux (Alpha 3.4.1-3mdk)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.7-1.sds.17mdk

In Kget you can (for the moment ;) ) only limit bandwith globally for all the downloads, but it would be great if kget would allow to limit the speed of an unique download disctinctively.

Thank you very much, you've already done a great work ;) !

"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 3 Urs Wolfer 2005-11-03 20:23:42 UTC
Comment #2: I'm also not aware of this option.
Comment 4 Ferdinand Gassauer 2006-03-03 12:41:46 UTC
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.

Yes, they are not available.

Yes, true. I definitely need 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.

KGet isn't based on wget, sorry, not even a single line of code is taken from 
it.

Best regards,

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:

Comment 7 Christopher Ranschaert 2007-01-08 18:55:38 UTC
This would be a handy feature to have in KGet.
So I'm in for supporting this feature as well.

Best regards,

Chris.
Comment 8 Jan De Luyck 2007-01-08 19:00:59 UTC
I too would like this feature implemented.
Comment 9 Lukas Appelhans 2007-10-22 17:10:26 UTC
Hi!
Currently Manolo works on bandwidths limiting, it will not be for 4.0, but for 4.1... :-)


Cheers

Comment 10 Daniel O. Nascimento 2008-11-25 16:21:53 UTC
Seems OK with kde 4.1.3 and kget 2.1.3.

I think it can be closed.
Comment 11 Lukas Appelhans 2008-11-25 17:01:49 UTC
Yeah you can for torrents, but KIO is not supporting this still... so I will leave this open for now ;)

Comment 12 Volkmar Wörner 2008-12-08 20:12:00 UTC
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.
Comment 13 Lukas Appelhans 2008-12-08 22:30:38 UTC
@Volkmar: Already fixed ;)

Comment 16 intruderkw 2009-01-31 05:27:00 UTC
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

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
Comment 18 Pablo Montepagano 2009-02-16 05:19:20 UTC
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!
Comment 19 Carl 2009-04-07 12:47:03 UTC
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!
Comment 20 gerlos 2009-04-18 16:00:20 UTC
I'd like bandwidth throttling too!
Comment 21 Daniel Dawson 2010-01-18 09:26:22 UTC
Yes, bandwidth limiting would be good if it actually worked. Why does it still not work after this many years?
Comment 22 Lukas Appelhans 2010-01-18 13:03:07 UTC
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...
