[Pan-users] [Wishlist] Download algorithm improvement

[Sven Neuhaus]

Hello,

2 more feature requests:

My news server allows 3 parallel connections and I download 20 multipart 
files, I think it would be better if pan worked with all connections on one 
file at a time (downloading 3 different parts of the same multipart until 
there are less than 3 parts left, then start on the next file).
This would also help getting the oldest file quickest before it expires (if 
it is about to).

Also, I have another wish: My news-provider has a bandwidth cap on every 
connection. Would it be possible to download the new article headers on 
more than one connection by splitting them into multiple subranges?
With newsgroup getting 400,000+ postings and a bandwidth cap of 60kb/s just 
getting the headers takes 30 minutes and more.

Thanks,
-Sven
