Hey everyone!

I've been trying to best take advantage of all the random cool stuff KDE 4 offers, and one way to do that was try KGet as my download manager for Konqueror and Firefox (using the FlashGot plugin).

But the program is pretty confusing, and the documentation is out of date. Here are some issues I'm having: can anyone offer any suggestions, or is it still a work-in-progress issue?

KGet offers "Groups", I assume for download grouping:


But, they don't do anything, and I can't add or filter downloads into the groups, even though that's what seems to be the whole point. Instead, there is also this system left over from 3.x:


Okay fine. No big deal. Except, when I try to download a file that's not directly linked to (like, say, a CC-licensed mp3 from http://thesixtyone.com), I get this with the normal Firefox dialog:


But KGet gives this from Firefox/FlashGot, which has some crazy random-string instead of the file name that Firefox managed to nab, making the whole sorting-by-filename idea useless anyways:


And Konqueror will pass KGet three(!) links if I try browsing to the file that way:


...with one of them (the one with the actual file name I'd want) not even working:


If I should be filing a bug report instead, that's cool. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong first, because there is a serious lack of documentation/discussion about KGet for me to be researching this, and maybe I'm just missing something obvious.

Thanks!

The reason for the random name is because that is probably where KGet ended up after it finished following the links. Firefox on the otherhand did not follow the links fully.

If you are not running KDE 4.2, it is highly recommended to upgrade. I believe many fixes went in for Group support.

I've tried with the latest trunk build with the KDE Nightly packages, and I've still the same problem. I guess a bug report might be in order?

edit: Alright, I've only now realized how the group function works, and that makes sense now. It's just redundant with the sort-by-filetype feature, which is probably on it's way out.

I suppose that getting the correct file name from the URLs which eventually resolve to deliver the file is the only problem that I'm coming up against.

If you still experience the 3 URL split, then that ( if it is meant to be a single URL ) is a bug. Bugs are filed for KGet at bugs.kde.org
