--- Comment #8 from Thomas Perl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 2008-04-02 21:10:07 --- You have to change the "calculate_speed" function in DownloadThread in "/src/gpodder/download.py". The reason this function is buggy is because when I initially wrote it, I didn't think about changing or enabling the throttling when a download is running. Therefore, my calculation is very simple: * Remember the start time * downloaded bytes = count*blockSize * Use (now - start_time) and downloaded bytes to calculate the real speed * Use the desired speed, (now - start_time) and downloaded bytes to calculate the time we have to sleep to get the desired speed (with an upper limit of 10 seconds to prevent timeouts) With a bit of math and some saved values (maybe a timestamp -> downloaded_bytes mapping), it should be easy to calculate the average speed for the last minute (or so) and, based on that, calculate the needed amount of time to sleep (if any). Basically the same algorithm, but the start_time is replaced by the last timestamp and the downloaded bytes are reduced by the amount of bytes downloaded at the time of the last timestamp. Can you still follow me? ;) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.gpodder.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ gPodder-Bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.berlios.de/mailman/listinfo/gpodder-bugs
