Summary: KGet should save failed downloads
Product: kget
Version: unspecified
Platform: Debian testing
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kget kde org
ReportedBy: getaceres yahoo es
Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS: Linux
Today I was trying to download the file http://se.releases.ubuntu.com/5.10/ubuntu-5.10-preview-install-i386.iso to the directory /home/jose/ubuntu that I had previosly created. That directory had read/write access for jose user. Also, I had 2GB of free space while this file size is ~600MB.
When it reached 100% KGet complained about it being unable to create the file /home/jose/ubuntu/ubuntu-5.10-preview-install-i386.iso and informed me to check if I had write access to that directory (which obviously I had).
Once I checked that, I tried to retry the copy process (not the download process) so I pushed "continue" button. Instead of trying again to save the file, it started from 0%.
I think KGet should:
1. On case it fails to save the file, once it's downloaded, it should ask for another location.
2. If (for whatever reson) 1 fails, it should keep the downloaded temp file and have a method to retry the save process, so you don't have to download the entire file again.
