kget hangs and abuses webserver with too many connections when download all links is used!

try downloading all files from this link:
http://mobilelibrary.cdacnoida.com/book.html

what happens after we do "select all links" and choose all links and click download selected files:

1. KGet tries to check whether all links are online! this is a very bad behavior of kget, this thing of "checking all links before download" causes too much load on the server and also kget hangs and becomes unresponsive for quite a while.

Expected Behvior:
-----------------

Kget should add all links (selected for download), and start downloading "as per limit" feature.

it should only check the file's "online availability" only when it is about to download the said file/link.

in this way the server won't get hurt and kget won't hang. There are many ftp sites which bans IP addresses who make too many connections (mostly more than 2) at a time.

so please don't let kget ban my ip ;) thanks!
