           Summary: Kget launches a number of kio_http processes using up
                    to 60% CPU
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Core
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: iskendar at gmail.com


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I'm currently using firefox+flashgot with kget as download manager for all
sorts of downloading purposes. Flashgot allows you to select a part of a
webpage, from which it extracts all links, which you can then choose do
download using the download manager of your choice, in my case kget. Problem
is, when I do so, this launches a bunch of kio_http processes which start then
hogging the CPU (when I reported this to the forum, three were running using up
60% of it). Killing them all doesn't interrupt any of the downloads, so I
wonder what they're actually for, though new ones keep popping up. 

I'm using kget 2.5.1, KDE 4.5.1, firefox 3.6.12, flashgot 1.2.6 on kubuntu
10.10

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Select website links with flashgot, this adds them to the download queue in
kget. Kget gets any authentication data (for e.g. rapidshare) from cookies
stored by konqueror. 

Actual Results:  
Kget downloads up to 2 files at a time (default settings). This causes a number
of kio_http processes to start up. For a single avi file, their CPU use summed
to 15% (the top single process up to 9%). When dealing with a long queue, I've
witnessed up to 60% use divided over three processes.

Expected Results:  
It was suggested that the kio_slaves were determinging the mime types of the
files in the queue. Obviously, this should be a low priority process using up
little CPU time.
