KGet

Development

Core

• MultiSource Downloading
• Add Advanced Details support

User Interface

Main View

• Add advanced details area (show chunk view, peer view, file view, statistics view etc...). Use tabview to display multiple views.
• Add a coloured band over the mainview displaying the currently display items. For example if I select "Downloads" from the sidebar it should display "Downloads". If instead I select a specific group <groupname> it should display "Downloads - <groupname>"
• Add valid download time frame, global or individual.
• Show average transfer speed when finished

SideBar

• Re-import the sidebar. Might be a tree-view.
• Add a "Finished" item. This will point to the downloaded files.
• Add a popupmenu to add or delete groups by right-clicking on them.
• Implement the selection of a specific group. In this way selecting a group from the sidebar should display only its transfers.
• Make the sidebar capable of several sizes for its items (16, 22, 32, ...)

DragBasket

• Show downloading progress, if multiple downloads are going, show each for 1 or 2 senconds.

SysTray

• Implement progressive filling of the icon in the system tray.
• Use KPassivePopups to notify when all the transfers have been downloaded.

Usability

• Add option to show newtransferdialog on top, using Qt::WStyle_StaysOnTop.
• Ask the user if he/she wants to delete the transfer (or probably if he/she wants to delete the tmp-file)?
• Let the user add new download-sources to a multithreaded transfer manually
• Handle the situation when we remove a group which has transfers.
• If user resume a download and find the disk space is not enough, implement a option which can move and continue the transfer to another user-specified place.
• Add a wizard on the first app execution, where the user can set his download folders and other "vital" settings like the integration with Konqueror. Perhaps we could provide a good default like ~/downloads/.
• Check there is enough space left before downloading file
• Proxy-support, not global, only for kget (we need to wait for kdelibs)
• Right-click menu to change transfer properties (filename, destination directory, url)

Optimization

• Move deleting of big tmp-files to a new thread.
• Profile kget and look for possible optimizations.
• Make KGets handling of many downloads smarter, (maximum number of open connections per server).
• Recursion and other wget features.

Plugins

KIO

• Save referer page for downloads.
• Preserve timestamp of downloaded files (as option)

ContentFetch

• Fix thread related issues.
• Polish youtube downloader.
• Prepare to write megaupload/rapidshare downloader.
• Write the baidu mp3 downloader (long term).

MetaLink

• GUI to create Metalinks

MLDonkey

• Write a ML-Donkey-plugin, based on libkmldonkey.
