Re: What is the best way to queue downloads?
Posted by kevinds on .
As I said, I have no problem with one running at at time.
I am trying to figure out what is the best/recommended way for setting up the best way to start the next desired image to download after one finishes.
I can grab/generate the URLs and put them into a download manager, set it for one-at-time, but that has resulted in my downloaded files not being named correctly, ?mediaId=1234 instead of ......7z or whatever.
The way the server is set, and the message that happens when attempting to download two at once, I am pretty sure it is a rule.. ;) That being said, it wasn't a hard rule to get around, annoying yes, but not what I wanted to do.
"Do it right or do it again."

I've seen others talk about using download managers to download multiple roms at a time but I believe the consensus was that they rare work correctly. Multiple downloads are intentionally not a thing here to keep bandwidth demands low. That said there isn't a "rule" for it or anything so if you can find some way to do it then have at it but I don't know if anyone has done so.
