           Summary: Make kget IO priority configurable
           Product: kget
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: openSUSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kget at kde.org
        ReportedBy: squan at web.de


Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

kget is configurable to download with reduced bandwidth, but I don't want to
reduce its bandwidth in general.
kget downloads take the whole available bandwidth which is good in general,
but if other processes do network operations kget should take lower priority.

This could be achieved with ionice on the kio slaves spawned by kget.
But it's impractical to do this from the command line.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) start kget download
2) simulteanously try to browse the internet

Actual Results:  
Browsing is sluggish

Expected Results:  
Browsing is responsive
