Concurrent media downloads

[Damian Dagnino]

Hey,

I would like to request that media is downloaded concurrently, or in other words several games at once, probably some number from 3 to 5 games at the time (in order to avoid hitting server too much) and preferably by a background process that allows one to continue adding roms while media is downloaded, perhaps upon adding new roms the media downloads could go to a background queue automatically, it would also be awesome if the app could be closed and then when reopened the process would continue automatically. This would greatly increase build times of new setups.

I usually don't have to rebuild the entire setup all at once but it happened to me a few days ago that 2 disks from my NAS failed at the same time (yeah fun times) so I replaced them and started rebuilding the entire collection of about 15k games (which I know is not that large) and after adding the second platform waiting for images to download I started adding everything else skipping the media parts of the process. Now I'm still downloading media, the process has been running for about 12 hours and it's less than half done. This feature won't help me in the current situation but I think it will help many others.

Thanks. Regards, Damian.
