260040 - Can't d/l more than 2 things at once

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Camino Graveyard :: Downloading, defect)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

- go to the above url
- try to d/l the mac/windows/linux versions all at the same time

expected results:
- 3 simultaneous downloads

actual results;
- 2 downloads no matter how many times you click the 3rd link

Cancelling one of the downloads will cause the 3rd to begin and display. This is
really bad. How did we miss this?

This is weird. I was initially able to reproduce this. I then created a new
profile, and 3 simultaneous downloads worked as expected with Camino using the
new profile. After that, I deleted the new profile and copied my old profile
back, and tested again. 3 simultaneous downloads now work as expected, and I
haven't been able to make it break since.

we're hitting network.http.max-persistent-connections-per-server of 2 for some
servers. the works/doesn't work must be different moz mirrors set up differently
wrt persistent servers.

the http1.1 spec suggests 2 as a cap, and that's what we use. FF has the same
problem. This isn't a camino bug, nor really is it a bug at all. The problem is
the user doesn't understand why they can't d/l more than 2 things at once. Dunno
what to do about that one.
