Doug,
Curious if I can get your comments about a possible change in portmaster
to change the behavior of its fetch method.
While currently its fetch method is optimal for a environment that has a
speedy ultra-fast connection, it runs havoc on a dial line "56k with
speed-boost ;)"
Would it be possible to: ?
1) Add a switch that changes its behavior to single fetches - or -
2) Change the default of multiple fetches to single.
I opt for (2). as I really see no need have more then one fetch present at
a time since it will wait for all others to finish anyway.
The problem I am noticing is that fetches that are over the amount of
three consecutive connections just revolve until others have finished
causing DNS lookups on a line that is already at full speed and resulting
in slower transactions of the first three connections.
If there is something that I have looked over in the script then please
excuse me but I have not noticed a predetermined way to change this as it
stands right now.
Thanks
