I was thinking more of a download manager, like KGet, FreeDownloadManager, or DownThemAlldark_moon wrote:Why not? For example Windows ISO from Microsoft server. Or Linux ISO. I see no reason to use a torrent program just for 1 file.

I have fast internet (VDSL 50000), so i dont care about 4,5,6, whatever GB.

50 mbs a good intenet, for me i suppose, that's because your downloads never broken. I have only 5 mbs adsl.
Why not? For example Windows ISO from Microsoft server.
I also used to download them only with the browser, however i had unexpectedly many broken downloads recently, so i started always use an extension.

Weird, I have a 5mbps ADSL and my downloads don't break.Fedor2 wrote:kizo07

Re: Improve downloads
Last couple of mounts, I'm connected to all in one cable TV/phone/breadbond (max up 100 Mbps). But, depends of traffic, can vary much...all from broken connection to maybe 60-65 Mbps optimal.Fedor2 wrote:a good intenet
However, even to download big files or many files at once Pale Moon's 'built in' downloader works just fine here. But I 'admit' that in some seldom cases, when I have some other important tasks to do with PM, I use parallel, external downloader, so I can use Pale Moon 'normally'.
Re: Improve downloads
I just forgot to say...as external downloader I use 'jdownloader', portable, of course.
Re: Improve downloads
I was conducting a research at diffrent connections, and now have new assumption the matter is not about network error but of the simultaneous downloads. If it is started simultaneous downloads, reasonably big enough, they likely would be quietly failing. More 7 is almost always.
I inspected the code and see that it regulated with promise appliance which well known being not fully supported.

Re: Improve downloads
Wrong assumption. Promises are fully supported in Pale Moon 27.*. If your concurrent downloads don't start or stall when starting a large number of them, it is almost certainly throttling on the server side.Fedor2 wrote:I was conducting a research at diffrent connections, and now have new assumption the matter is not about network error but of the simultaneous downloads.

Re: Improve downloads
Not sure of course of the promise being fault. But with simultaneous downloads you likely get that silent error.
i begin test this with addons.

Re: Improve downloads
Yes i rather do not. However i am for sure this is an error regardless promise or else. But i never ask you are to begin quickly do something with this. Say just what do you agree that is an error there.Moonchild wrote:I'm sorry but you seem to have no idea how promises work.
Re: Improve downloads
There is no error here as far as I can see.
Like I said if you have concurrent downloads not starting, then it's most likely an enforced restriction (throttling) on the server side.
If you need to download many things from sites concurrently, you should be using a more advanced download manager that will automatically retry and deal with throttling stalls, like DownThemAll.
