Hi thanks for this excellent alternative update/download app.
At first my downloads timed out because of a busy disk (extracting other files) so the above got me thinking. I personally prefer to download files in sequence, so all bandwidth is used only per file. As the example shows the firmware file is lagging because of multiple downloads. As I type this, I notice I could choose to download per file (not choosing yes on all files at once) but I do want to make a request :)

Would it be possible to download sequentially when choosing all files at once? Again, I know I can choose per file yes, but it might happen you want to download them all in one batch and not check on when to download the next etc.
Thanks!!

Hi,

The original reason for the parallel download is because stellantis server (from where firmware is downloaded) is painfully slow, contrarily to tomtom server.

I don't promise anything but I can have a look sometime to add a flag to download files sequentially, it should not be complex to do. So leaving the request open for now.

As a workaround you could also use the non interactive mode and sequentially download files: ./psa-update --silent VIN && ./psa-update --silent VIN --map eur

Thanks for the explanation and the 'workaround'. In hindsight it's really a non-issue to be honest :) .. but thanks for listening for feedback. Please close if not worth the time developing this request :).

Introduced argument --sequential-download to force sequential download of updates. This is available in release 1.0.6.
