This is a Google Summer of Code 2013 project that aims to + replace the fetch(1)-based method for getting + distribution files, such as source tarballs, for the third-party + applications (ports) with an intelligent Download Manager + Service (see links for more information).

+ +

All the modules highlighted in the project wiki have been + completed (see links). Specifically:

+ +
    +
  • A service which receives and serves download requests. It + samples download speeds from different mirrors and uses this + information to pick the best mirror on the next request. It + can migrate jobs between mirrors if it realizes that a + complete download from a different mirror would be faster than + proceeding with the mirror it is currently using.
  • + +
  • A status dump feature has also been added to the client + (dmget) which dumps the information about active + downloads, speeds from mirrors, etc.
  • +
+ + + + The implementation (especially job migration and dumping + status) has not been tested thoroughly. Test the code, write more + unit and regression tests. + +
