Xavier Hanin commented on IVY-1011:
-----------------------------------

One issue with parallel downloading is download progress reporting. When us=
ed from Ant, we are very limited in reporting, output to console being done=
 only by whole lines. I guess this is not a showstopper if we don't get som=
ething clean during parallel downloads, but we need to be careful with this=
 IMO.

>             Project: Ivy
>          Issue Type: New Feature

> Enhance the downloading of artefacts.
> - parallel downloads
> - resuming a download
> - partial downloads
> - using a downloadmanager (for getting the first three topics)
> (Without knowing the internals) I think of something like
> public interface Downloader {
>     /**
>      * @param source From where to download
>      * @param target where to store the artefact
>      * @param progressReporter something that reports the progress (the [=
.......]ok  at the moment)
>     */
>     download(URI source, File target, ?? progressReporter);
> }
> Implementations:
> - SerialDownloader :  the existing downloader
> - ParallelDownloader : starts multiple downloads in parallel
> - SunDownloader : uses Suns Downloadmanager [1] for doing the job
> - ??Downloader : other (free available Java based) download manager
