too many folder.tar

[Novox]

Hello rejetto,

I have some problem about downloading whole folder. When the user download the folder as .tar. The client always sent many http request to the server, so this make the server overload. I don't know this problem was happen only in this version or not, but now I'm using the latest build (212). I have attached a picture for you to see what the problem is.

[rejetto]

no, it's not related to this build. it's not even related to hfs...
it's the client who has this way of doing.
are you sure the server is overloaded? cpu or hard disk? for how many seconds?

download accelerator ?

[rejetto]

yes, with client i meant a download accelerator/download manager

[MarkV]

Download Accelerator attempts to download the file in multiple pieces.

[rejetto]

...and the option "prevent leeching" is supposed to prevent this!

[chthonic]

I use getright or freshdownload for this and I disable anti-leech.. and it works fine

I need to give a user to use download accelerator but can I limit these connection? Because it take a lot around 256 connections. This make HFS sometime not responding.

[rejetto]

he CAN use a download accelerator.
what that option does is to force it to work with a single connection (instead of multiple).

[Novox]

umm, he can use a multiple connection but nothing can limit this to 5 or something?

[rejetto]

yes, there's a method.
but what's your goal?

[Novox]

All I want is to limit the "sending connection" just like in the first reply screenshot. Because It make a lot of connection. Now I can limit the download connection but for "sending connection" I can't.

[rejetto]

ok, you want to limit.
what prevent leeching does is to limit to "1" the number of connection on the same file.
all those connections will disappear.

Now I can limit the download connection but for "sending connection" I can't.

There's no difference in this case: if those "sending"s are issued by the download manager as you say, then HFS is considering them as "download"s.
This if you didn't mark them by using the "don't consider as download".

[Novox]

Umm, but if "sending" is as same as "downloading" why it doesn't have any progress bar? Sorry for asking annoying question. 

[rejetto]

because HFS is still preparing the bytes to be sent
