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 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 you set the number of rows in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

How do you set the number of rows you want in a spreadsheet, so that even when you drag data in, in writes over those rows instead of adding a new row?

After the discovery reported above, I filed this report :
Bug ID# 10073038
Summary:
When Numbers is used on a system with decimal comma a csv file may be good AND wrong
Steps to Reproduce:
With Numbers v2, you introduced an interesting enhancement.
In system using the comma as decimal separator, Numbers requires csv files using the semi-colon as values delimiter.
In fact it’s true if we OPEN the document dragging its icon on Numbers one or thru the open dialog.
This said.
(1) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'semi-colon' standard on a table or on a sheet
(2) Drag and drop a csv built with the 'comma' standard on a table or on a sheet
Expected Results:
Every normally constituted user assume that in
case (1) he will get a perfectly built table
case (2) he will get every cells of a row in a single cell
Actual Results:
In fact you forgot the drag and drop way of use and in
case (1) every values separated by semi-colon are inserted in a single cell
case (2) values separated by comma are correctly spread in a table
isn’t it ridiculous ?
Regression:
Except looking in QuickView to see which is exactly the structure of the file to decide the way we will insert it in a Numbers document, we may use an applescript fair enough to replace the semi-colons by TAB characters
or
to replace the commas by TABs and the decimal periods by commas
Notes:
While I am on this subject, I wish to make two proposals:
(1) It would be fine to format the date according to the ISO format year-mm-dd when you export a Numbers doc to csv.
Doing that, dates would be imported correctly in every countries.
At this time, on an English system, you export as mm/dd/year.
If the doc is open on a system using the format dd/mm/year, the results will be odd.
On a system using the format dd/mm/year, you export this way and so, if the doc is open on a system using the format mm/dd/year the results are odd too.
As every localized versions accept the ISO format (at least on entry), using it in the export scheme would give a correct behavior everywhere.
(2) It would be fine to add the format Tab Separated Values in the Export pane.
TSV + ISO date format would give documents opening flawlessly everywhere.

How can I set the number of test sockets in my program?

How can I set the number of test sockets in my program? I use LabWindows/CVI 6 and TestStand version 2.0.
And I use BatchModel for the parallel UUT running. I didn't found program way to set the number of test socket. I think I should have it. In TestStand I can change the number of test sockets through menu Configure -> Model Options -> number of test sockets (I mean I do it by manual mode).
Thank's a lot.
Maria

One way you can set the number of Test Sockets for your sequence is by overiding the ModelOptions Callback used by your sequence. Select All Sequences from the View drop-down then right click, select Sequence File Callbacks, select the ModelOptions callback and then click on Add. You can then select the Edit button to Edit the ModelOptions for your sequence. You can set other ModelOptions as required also.

How can I set the number of rings before going to voicemail?

Help please..... my phone rings more than 10+ times before rolling to voicemail. How do I set the number of rings I want? I am missing calls as callers will not wait through through so many rings to get to vm if I am unable to pick up the call. Thank you for any help you can give!

You can't. Try contacting your phone carrier as they handle voicemails.

8330 Call Forwarding...How do I set the number of rings before calls are forwarded? Right now it instantly forwards my calls but I don't want that. I want to change it so that let's say that if after 5 rings I don't answer the call is forwarded. I've looked everywhere for an answer but have had no luck. Any help would be appreciated. I am with Virgin Mobile if this makes a difference.
Thank you

Well, call forwarding is a feature provided by your carrier -- it is not a function of the device. However it works for your carrier is how it works. Actually, from what I understand about call forwarding, it normally is an all-or-nothing circumstance...calls forward to the number you've asked them to be forwarded to, keeping you in a DND status. Regardless, though, if your carrier tells you how it works on their system, there's nothing that the device can do to override that. Unless there is some kind of 3rd party app that would do it, bypassing (somehow) the carrier network CF feature...but I've never heard of such a thing.

How do I set the number of columns for JTextPane

I only found a method setSize() of JTextPane class. How can I set the number of columns in a JTextPane? Each column can be written one letter.
Thanks.

You're not going to use FontMetrics to change the width of the characters; you're going to use it figure out how wide a single character is. Then multiply by the number of characters you want to have in a line, and presto! You know how wide to make your JTextPane.
Unless I've misunderstood your problem, of course.

How do I set the number of Plays?

01Jul2011
I need to change the number of plays of some mp3 files in itunes. How do I change files that were played, but not counted as plays to played?
I have audio lectures, in order in a playlist that I don't want to hear again. My playlist is set only to list unplayed (plays <1) audio files. Sometimes the ipod I use to listen to the files locks up and does count the completed files as played (Plays = 1). How can I set the Plays from 0 to 1?
Thank you for your help with this.
Regards,
chhenden

Start the file playing in iTunes then click on the right end of the play progress bar. Playback will end. The play count will increment and the next track will begin to play.

How do you set the number of visible items in the popup box of a JComboBox?

Hi,
Do you know how to set the number of items that shall be visible in the popup box of a JComboBox?
I have produced an implementation of an autocomplete JComboBox such that following each character typed in the text field, the popup box is repopulated with items. Normally 8 items are visible when showing the popup box. Sometimes even though the list of items is > 8 the popup box shrinks in height so that 8 items are not visible.
Thanks,
Simon

Below is my JComboBox autocomplete implementation.
The problem seems to occur when the list of items is reduced in number, the button selected and then the list size increased, the popup box does not automatically increase in size. I have tried setMaximumRowCount � but does not resolve the problem.
To see how it works:
1)     click in text field.
2)     Type 1 � the full list of items are shown.
3)     Type 0 � the list has been narrowed down � the popup box is greyed out for remaining items.
4)     Type Backspace � the full list of items is redisplayed.
5)     Type 0 � to narrow down the list.
6)     Select button � the popup box is invisible.
7)     Select button � the popup box is displayed with 2 items.
8)     Select Backspace � here is the problem � the combo box list contains all items but the popup box has been shrunk so that only 2 are visible.
9)     Select button � popup box is invisible.
10)     Select button � popup box is as expected.

How can i set the number of results that can be displayed on the page

how is this odne could anyone send me a example code?
and also how can i get results from the query displayed as select list options, so that when they press one of teh results it goes to correspnding page
Thank you

Hi,
I assume that you have the connection to the DB.
You can try this code.
Statement stmt = con.createStatement();
String sql = "<some sql code for selecting>";
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery(sql);
rs.last();
int count = rs.getRow(); // this is the number that shows how many numbers you have after select query
rs.first(); //we moved cursor again to the begining of the results.
if (count > 5) {
for (int i=0;i<5;i++) {
//as an example
rs.getString(0);
rs.getString(1);
rs.getString(2);
out.print("<a href='morePage.jsp'>More</a>");
else {
for (int i=0;i<count;i++){
//as an example
rs.getString(0);
rs.getString(1);
rs.getString(2);
rs.close();
stmt.close();I hope this would help you.
If you have problems let me know..

How do you restric the number of songs downloaded at the same time?

With the latest version of iTunes when I purchase an album from ITunes Store it starts to download upto three songs at the same time.
This slows down the speed at which they are downloaded up to 6 times for each song what it takes when downloading a single song.
Is there anyway to restrict the number of songs downloaded?
You can pause all downloads and then manually download each one but then you have to sit at the computer the whole time.
I'm using cable broadband with upto 512kbps.

I have the same issue with TV shows. Purchasing more than one show starts downloads on several files (shows/songs/movies) at the same time. If I remember correctly, certain older versions of iTunes proceeded to download only one file at a time. If it finished one, it started the next on the list until the files were all downloaded, or the internet connection was interrupted, after which you had to "check for purchases" to start downloading where you left off.
I wonder if there is a way to change that setting back to the old way? I'll be watching this thread for news...
