How do i limit the number of simultaneous downloads to my ipod touch?

I just purchased a new ipod touch and want to dump my entire icloud library onto it.  I figured the easiest way to do this would be to make a smart playlist that includes all my music and then just download the whole playlist (thousands of songs).  The problem is, at about 2/3 of the way through a track, the ipod touch automatically starts downloading the next track. At this point, it's trying to download about 50 tracks simultaneously and as a result is taking abotu 5 minutes to download one song.  How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads?  Is there a faster way to load up a new ipod touch with your icloud library?  Thanks.

Thank you for the reply. I had no idea I had so much access to Firefox prefs.
It's still a strange design though. Yep, the original setting was set to 30 simultaneous downloads. I set it to four, which would see to make my Mac more usable as four downloads are rolling while all the rest are in queue.
Only probably is, Firefox doesn't just think of what is in the download list as a "download". Once all four downloads are rolling, no more webpages will open! (Strangely, sometimes they will, but very slowly ... but usually not at all.)
Apparently, even a browser tab is a "download" and is stopped once the assigned number of simultaneous downloads is reached.
So I'm still back to not being able to limit my downloads for the benefit of having good use of my browser while downloads are coming in.
Right now, one pages where I have boo-koo downloads I want to initiate at one time, I'm clicking "download", starting the download, going to the downloads list, pausing it, getting another download, pausing it, and so on until I have a complete queue ready to go. Then I start the downloads once I know that I no longer need the internet.
That seems sort of for the birds, doesn't it?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Other specialized download programs get the concept of an active queue and a paused queue with a number-setting to determine the max downloads. Why doesn't Firefox get this? Or does it and have I just still not found it?

  • How can I limit the number of simultaneous downloads on my Mac?

    Hi Everyone,
    I'm using an old Powerbook G4 runnnig 10.4.11.
    Whenever I'm downloading a large number of files simultaneously, my OS insists on downloading them all at the same time. When I've got 50+ files coming in, it gets kind of messy and makes it hard to use the internet. Everything slows down.
    It seems to me there should be a preference somewhere that will allow me to enter a number which would be the max number of files being actively downloaded. The rest of the files beyond this number would be in "queue" state, waiting their turn.
    You know ... if I'm clicking on 50 files to download, I only want two or three of them downloading at one time. The rest can wait their turn.
    Darned if I can find such a pref, though.
    Does 10.4.11 have such a feature that will allow me to have only a small number of files actually downloading and the rest of them queued up?
    -JOHN
    ps. By the way, I'm using Firefox. I don't find any such pref in Firefox, either.

  • How do I set the number of simultaneous downloads?  Per server?

    iTunes always tries to download 3 podcasts at once, which leads to timeouts on podcast servers that limit the number of connections. That means I'm either missing episodes or else I need to manually babysit iTunes.
    Is there a way to set the number of simultaneous downloads? I'm using XP.
    Thanks.

    You can turn simultaneous downloads off. In the downloads window, at the lower left. Also, while things are downloading, you can pause all but one or two.

  • How can I limit the number of emails retained on my ipad air?

    How can I limit the number of emails that are retained on my iPad Air?  Because of legal requirements of a long-term project, I cannot permanently delete emails relating to that project from my ISP's mail server.  My gmail account contains over 17,000 emails and, upon setting up my new iPad, and updating to ios 7.1.1, I now have all 17,000+ emails taking up space.  I would like to limit the emails by count as I was able to do on my old iPad running ios 5.1.1 OR to retain them based on date range.  I have not found any instructions on the support discussions or general iPad blogs that allow me to do that.  Any way around this problem?
    I also miss the 5.1.1 mail search feature that allowed me to narrow the search by from/to/subject/all.  Does anyone know if that feature is available using some little-known ios 7.1.1 feature?
    Thanks for your help.

    If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
    If you have Gmail it does not.  Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

  • HT2729 I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    I have limited space on my new ipad. How can I limit the number of songs from my itunes on my imac from going to my ipad when I connect the two?

    you can do this by keeping the external hard drive connected and doing the following
    -hold shift key down on computer while opening iTunes and a prompt will appear to choose a library
    -select choose library, iTunes should bring up your explorer windows where you can search for the external HD
    -after you find the external HD find the iTunes folder you just copied to it
    -after opening the iTunes folder look for the file that says iTunes library.itl or if you can't see that extenstion just look for a document looking thing in the iTunes folder that shows up as a database file
    -double click the database file and boom iTunes should load your library without having to copy it to the computer
    PS: do make sure that if you are going to do it this way, make sure that the external HD is connected at all times, because if you don't then you will get exclamation marks next to your iTunes songs
    double PS: if you are unsure how to find out if the iTunes library file is a database file just right click it and choose properties and under the type it should say database file
    hope this helps:)

  • Hi, how can I limit the number of emails I can see on my iPhone 5. Every time in delete one and older email gets added from my live.co.uk account (where I want to keep my 2500 emails) I just don't want many on my phone. Thanks

    You can't. Why on earth would you attempt to manage 2500 emails with setting up a folder structure or some means of doing so? Simply keeping them in an single inbox is not realistic, no matter what email client you use.

  • How do I limit the number of rows retrieved at a time using RefCursor?

    I have a PL/SQL package in use, that returns a REF CURSOR. This is currently being used in a Forms 6i application. Now I want to develop an ASP.NET web application that displays exactly the same information as my Forms 6i module. In fact those two applications will be used concurrently for a while.
    I looked at the sample code provided on otn.oracle.com and decided to use the OracleDataAdapter.Fill()-method to fill a dataset and bind that dataset to a pageable GridView. Now I wonder, whether this method retrieves ALL records of the query at once and how I can limit the number of rows fetched? The Select statement retrieves up to 10000 rows at a time. Most of the time, a user is only interested in the first 20-30 rows. Forms 6i fetches more rows as the user scrolls down, how can I implement the same behavior in ODP.NET?
    - Markus

    Excuse me, but the reply does not quite answer my question. Maybe I did not explain my concerns clear enough:
    I understand the use of the two properties (RowSize and FetchSize) to reduce the amount of round trips needed to transfer the data - not the number of rows fetched in total. This would still lead to a situation where all rows are transferred, when I am using the OracleDataAdapter.Fill()-Method. Is this correct or did I misunderstand the function of this method?
    I quote the otherwise really helpful article you send me:
    Of course, there is a cost if the fetch size is arbitrarily large. More client-side memory and processor cycles will be needed to store and manage a larger amount of data. The goal is to find a high-performing balance between the number of round trips and the amount of data retrieved per trip.
    My RowSize is for sure a bit larger than the one in the given example. The query will probably be used by up to 100 users at a time, so I would like to limit the resource-costs not only on the network by the number of round trips, but also on the web-server which is storing all these records in it's memory per user-request.

  • How do I limit the number of emails that show in my active mailbox?  There was a way in Settings on ios 6, but i can't find it in ios 7.

    You need to delete your current hotmail account set up on your iphone.
    Once this has done click 'Add Account' and select the new 'outlook.com' tab.
    Set up your hotmail account again from scratch and this will then allow you to select how many weeks/months of emails you sync to your phone.
    Im not sure if anyone else had a similar problem to me prior to iOS 7, but if i deleted an email from my hotmail account on my iphone - it wouldnt sync with my actual hotmail account. So when i logged in online all the emails I had deleted on my phone would still be showing as unread.
    But by setting the account up as above, they now sync perfectly.
    Well for me anyway

  • How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file?

    How can we send only one message to a WCF service at a time? How we can limit the number of concurrent calls to a WCF service without use the Singleton pattern or without do the change in BizTalk Configuration file? Can we do it by Host throttling?

    Hi Pawan,
    You need to use WCF-Custom adapter and add the ServiceThrottlingBehavior service behavior to a WCF-Custom Locations.
    ServiceThrottlingBehavior.MaxConcurrentCalls - Gets or sets a value that specifies the maximum number of messages actively processing across a ServiceHost. The MaxConcurrentCalls property specifies the maximum number of messages actively
    processing across a ServiceHost object. Each channel can have one pending message that does not count against the value of MaxConcurrentCalls until WCF begins to process it.

    : If you are in Sql*Plus, you could add the statement
    : WHERE rownum <= 25
    : Used together with an appropriate ORDER BY you
    : could get the first 25 stores.
    Watch out. ROWNUM is run before ORDER BY so this would only

    How do I delete excess email messages from my iPhone.  There are 300 messages listed, and every time I delete some, more are added from old messages.  How do I limit the number of messages that can appear on my phone?  How can I delete messages in bulk,

    You can't.
    All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the Photo Library. The photos in the album or albums below are not duplicates - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. This way you can view the photos in a particular album only by selecting the album, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
    Just as with an iTunes playlist. A song cannot be in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song. Remove the main iTunes library or the songs from the main iTunes library that are in a playlist and the songs will no longer be in the playlist either. This way you can listen to the songs in the playlist only by selecting the playlist, or all songs in your entire iTunes library by selecting Music under Library in the iTunes source list.
    The same with iPhoto on a Mac. A photo cannot be in an in iPhoto Event or Album unless the photo is in the main iPhoto library. Placing a photo in an Event or Album does not duplicate the photo. This way you can view the photos in an iPhoto Event or Album only by selecting the Event or Album, or all photos in all Events or Albums.
