http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/10642/ File move/copy via Nautilus;
Firefox download;
Pidgin file transfer;
Update manager download;
File operations on ftp & other folders seen in "Places - Connect to server";
Archive manager operations.
The benefits must be:
Unified way to filetransfer, allowing pause, change queue order, re-get functions, etc;
Allowing non-interfere operations in parallel, rest in queue(s);
Generate list of task(s) in queue with save/load it;
Check for active transfers when user try to logout or power off;
Resume operations after reboot, if applicable.

Updates:
1. At any type of transfer (i.e. local or Internet), must be bandwidth limiting option. For local transfers it is useful to pervent system overload and freeze for non-urgent HDD-to-HDD filecopying.
2. Read/write timeouts and errors must be properly handled, and process or system must not freeze at this condition.
3. I don't know what good is idea about p2p thansfers integrated here, but at this moment I think it must be separate program, due to p2p specifics. Please comment this.
4. If you download video or audio, maybe preview of partially downloaded content is useful.
5. md5 sums must calculated and checked (automatically, if .md5 file found)
6. User-selectable auto Power-off after operation... Anyone need this?

jpka:
1. "nearly done"
2. That would get taken care of upstream or by Ubuntu's Firefox extension]]> Fri, 26 Sep 2008 05:58:21 +0000
For instance, if I want to copy several different files located in different directories to an SD card, I can't do it as one drag'n'drop operation (because I can't see them all at once), but doing many operations results in multiple parallel transfers, which is inefficient. It would be sweet if the file copier could notice when multiple operations are copying to the same mount point and do them in sequence, while still doing transfers to seperate destinations in parallel.

All the other features suggested by jkpa would be lovely, but this would be my fave.]]> Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:56:14 +0000 Mon, 01 Dec 2008 22:59:18 +0000
