Hey all,
I am working on the download manager that will be included in 1.5. What
I would like to do is offer the option to maximize your available
bandwidth. Maybe that is not the correct term. What I want to do is
given n items to download figure out how many concurrent items can be
downloaded without oversaturating your connection. What I was thinking
of doing was to add downloads until i saw a drop in the amount of data
being received across all the downloads. Then pause the last one and
wait till one of the previous items finished then continue. This sounds
over simplistic though. Perhaps I should just let users specify the
total number of downloads they want concurrently but it would be great
if we could figure itout for them. Anyone with any experience in this
stuff?
