-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Doug, Curious if I can get your comments about a possible change in portmaster to change the behavior of its fetch method. While currently its fetch method is optimal for a environment that has a speedy ultra-fast connection, it runs havoc on a dial line "56k with speed-boost ;)" Would it be possible to: ? 1) Add a switch that changes its behavior to single fetches - or - 2) Change the default of multiple fetches to single. I opt for (2). as I really see no need have more then one fetch present at a time since it will wait for all others to finish anyway. The problem I am noticing is that fetches that are over the amount of three consecutive connections just revolve until others have finished causing DNS lookups on a line that is already at full speed and resulting in slower transactions of the first three connections. If there is something that I have looked over in the script then please excuse me but I have not noticed a predetermined way to change this as it stands right now.
