@matthiasblaesing tbh my first thought was also to try to reimplement it which I gave up on fairly quickly after going through the code. My second thought was to remove the time slicing scheduler and sequentialize the download to get rid of the suspend/resume at least. But since the threading model leaked through the API, this wouldn't really work (interrupts etc) - and testing this would have been a pain. Any modern downloader implementation would be trivial today but couldn't really be put behind that API. @neilcsmith-net did also take a closer look through NBI long ago and also decided that it was not worth it, this is what spawned https://github.com/apache/netbeans-nbpackage as you know. Last but not least: unmaintained net code isn't ideal, even if it would continue to work. We would keep releasing it even though all tests are disabled and nobody is looking at it anymore. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
