Any way to increase max connections (jobs) >2?

unrequited · 02-27-2009, 04:10 AM

I have 24 jobs, and only two seem to work at any one time. Even the ones at 100% are busy processing before the others start downloading. Is there a way to increase the limit say, up to 5, or even 10?

The limit is decided by the number of processor cores you have on your computer. The download jobs typically spawn 5 threads to do the downloading, so there isn't much point increasing the limit

Thanks for the quick and late-night response. Amazing program (just hooked it up to my Kindle 2)!

I'm just impatient because I just added 24 RSS feeds and wanna see how they look but they're downloading slowly... no worries for the future as you've made it completely set-it-and-forget-it!

Again, thanks for the explaination and thanks for the hard work!
