Package: kget Version: 4:3.2.1-1 Severity: wishlist -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
It would be useful to be able to, as a user, set the TOS field for the TCP sockets that KGet uses, somewhere in KGet's GUI (e.g., under Configure KGet). For instance, I might want 'minimize monetary cost' so that a big download's interference with other traffic is minimized, or 'maximize throughput' when I want it to complete quickly. For reference, these can be set using setsockopt() with the socket option IP_TOS; see ip(7) for more details. I realize that KGet itself probably does not handle the sockets itself, and instead goes through some abstraction layer(s) to actually handle the nitty- gritty of setting up the connection and all of that. I realize that doing this may cause portability problems. Don't forget that this is a wish, nothing more. I don't necessarily expect it to be implemented, but it would be nice. - -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.3 Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US Versions of packages kget depends on: ii kdelibs4 4:3.2.1-1 KDE core libraries ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.16-1 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libfam0c102 2.7.0-5 client library to control the FAM ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-2 GCC support library ii libice6 4.3.0-5 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libjpeg62 6b-9 The Independent JPEG Group's JPEG ii libpcre3 4.3-4 Philip Hazel's Perl 5 Compatible R ii libpng12-0 1.2.5.0-5 PNG library - runtime ii libqt3c102-mt 3:3.2.3-2 Qt GUI Library (Threaded runtime v ii libsm6 4.3.0-5 X Window System Session Management ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libx11-6 4.3.0-5 X Window System protocol client li ii libxext6 4.3.0-5 X Window System miscellaneous exte ii libxrender1 0.8.3-5 X Rendering Extension client libra ii xlibs 4.3.0-5 X Window System client libraries m ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-4 compression library - runtime - -- no debconf information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFAX5S3tHQW4HWNftkRAnE+AJ0eSyaZefPqx1n7J+ovOt/lBtsi7wCfQcYi KIEht99pqlUbs/sEOrF1Ebw= =FWbZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
