Enhancement: Option "maximum parallel downloads"

[chill0r]

It would be nice if there would be an option to change the maximum downloads.

Currently it's fixed at 3 downloads at each time.

Hi,
Currently you can only change the number of downloads by editing the MAX_DOWNLOAD_THREADS variable under DownloadThread.py. I could add an option on the GUI but right now i am pretty busy with other stuff and i want to find some time to finish the code refactoring so it's gonna take a while.

@MrS0m30n3 good to see you here :) An option in the config file would be great at first (for me its' at ~/.youtube-dl-gui/settings)

I don't want to push any changes into the code until i finish with the refactoring.I made the mistake to refactor the whole code all at once and i am like http://s2.hubimg.com/u/8530573_f520.jpg :D
and i am afraid that if i push new code the refactored one will overwrite the new changes.

No problem @MrS0m30n3 take your time, I keep an eye on this issue.
I intend to package youtube-dl-gui for debian in some time (it has already been done in a third party deb repository).

About the code, I think it already looks quite clean, but some quick comments (what functions does what, what file is what, how it is structured) in the code would certainly help. Have fun with the refactoring!

Now you can change the number of max parallel downloads by editing the 'workers_number' option on your settings.json file (~/.config/youtubedlg/settings.json). Note that you need to restart youtubedlg for the changes to take place. Also, this option will be added on the new GUI layout (as a GUI option) so you wont have to edit the settings.json file everytime.

I will leave this issue open until i push the new GUI layout.

Hi @MrS0m30n3 it's my pleasure to help you.
But I'm completely new to git and GitHub.
I'm still trying to figure out how things work here :)
