I have found an issue with Down Them All (latest build), on Firefox 2.0.0.12, Windows XP Professional SP2.
In my Firefox configuration file (type about.config in the address bar), I have the following entries set as default:
network.http.max-connections default integer 48
network.http.max-connections-per-server default integer 16
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy default integer 16
network.http-max-persistent-connections-per-server default interger 8
network.http.pipelining default boolean true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests default integer 8
I am on an 11Mbps DSL line, and the above settings give me great performance with the Firefox browser. Pages load instantly without lost or dropped packets, etc.
These are the best settings for my connection.
However, after downloading files using Down Them All, these entries are changed to the following:
network.http.max-connections default integer 204
network.http.max-connections-per-server default integer 102
network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-proxy default integer 16
network.http-max-persistent-connections-per-server default interger 51
network.http.pipelining default boolean true
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests default integer 8
This results in a significant slowdown of my browser, everything from pages loading to downloads.
If I change the entries above back to default, and restart the browser, everything is fine again, until the next time I use DTA.
The above sceanrio is repeatable and verifiable. Suggest you try it yourself.
Is there a way to prevent DTA from manipulatiing these settings?
If not, is there a way to have DTA revert the settings to default when it is finished?
