Is there any way to enforce a hoster specific limit of parallel download threads?

Reason: Some hosters work perfectly with multi-parallel downloads. E.g. Zippyshare or Filer (premium).

Others don't. Especially when using Deeprid.com as multihoster it happens more than often that downloads are interrupted (preferably at 95+ % ) and can't be resumed due to a misconfigured header by Deepbrid. Thus it's much better to allow only two or so parallel downloads via Deepbrid.

It's also no problem to e.g. coincidentally download two files via Deepbrid and at the same time six from Zippyshare.

Thus my initial question: Is there any way in JDL to limit only specific hosters to a (low) maximal number of concurrent downloads, whereas the rest follows the general rule set in Settings -> General -> Download administration?
(I've translated that from the German version, so the exact wording may be different.)

Right now you'll either have to generally limit JDL to let's say three simultaneous downloads — which turns out to be a »pain in the ass« when e.g. using Filer those days; even for premium users they got real slow. Or you have to babysit your computer and change the setting every time when a »good« hoster (no problems with multi-parallel downloads) hits its limit and Deepbrid serves as »rebound guy«. I guess that's not what was originally intended.

Thanks in advance for any useful hints!

Hi,

in the quicksettings menu which you can enable on the bottom right corner inside the "Download Overview", you can set max. downloads per host.

It is however, not possible to limit the max. number of downloads per multihost.
You can either use an EventScripter script for this or give up on it.

Answer is yes!

psp answer is some what incorrect, as specifying a global max sim per host is not specific to a host.

settings > advanced settings > GeneralSettings.domainrules

[ {
  "domainPattern" : ".*jdownloader\\.org",
  "filenamePattern" : "\\.png$",
  "accountPattern" : "myUsername",
  "pluginPattern" : null,
  "enabled" : false,
  "maxSimultanDownloads" : 20,
  "allowToExceedTheGlobalLimit" : false
} ]

so you can have different limits based on the content type like images are small files, which you need more sim dls to maintain speed, and have secondary rule for larger sized content on the same host which might need less connections as speed is maintained.

for instance I used to have a rule for youtube, as it saturated my connection with one download, yet at times I needed more threads for other downloads.

Don't think there is control for mh side though

hope that helps

Yes but my point was that this will not work for multihosters ... or at least as far as I know ...

I know, which is why I said somewhat wrong, and not supported for mh =]

zippyshare doesn't really need mh support since its free service anyway, with no benefits, so you would place that in domain rules & create account usage rule to disable all but free. Then your global setting of max sim dls should work for mh/others without rule.

Depends on where you are.
Here in germany , ZS has blocked german IPs --> Using ZS with a multihoster is now common here

arh yes.

hmm domain pattern is of the url or plugin name entry? wonder if you place in account of your mh and domain of zippy it would work for mh control too?

No idea :(
