How can I configure the number of parallel downloads?

I would like to be able to configure the number of parallel downloads I can do at a time.

I think the current number is 4 and sometimes it is high for me.

As far as I understand, it was abled to be configured before August 2023, according to some posts.

I have several questions:

  1. Can still be configured?

  2. If not, could you point out to the property in the code/property where it is configured. I would like to tweak this value, and I could regenerate the app myself, if I don’t have another option. I browsed the code in a few occasions and I haven’t been able to identify that property.

Thanks in advance.

AP version: 3.5.0f (300baf6dd) downloaded from Fdroid.

Android version: 14 (CalyOs 5.14.0)

We let Android choose a suitable number of parallel downloads, so the AntennaPod code does not specify the number

Thanks for the quick response…
Well… that explains why I could not find it in the code.

Any idea if I can configure it at the android level then? and how?

I think one can somehow convince WorkManager to use a different thread pool, but that’s probably not too easy. Also it might interfere with the other background processes we have, like sync, feed updates, auto deletion, etc

I thought it was easy fix and with the info I’m realizing I’m dead wrong.
Thanks for the info and the quick response!
Have a nice weekend (whatever is left, wherever you are)
