Description of problem: Yum supports a "max_connections" parameter, which allows the user to tune the maximum number of simultaneous downloads. Although DNF supports parallel downloads, I see no means by which the user may *change* the maximum number of concurrent downloads. Such a feature is desirable, for example, on flaky or unreliable network links. In these cases, it's useful to set yum's max_connections=1 to maximize the number of packages that have been downloaded completely and cached before the link goes down. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): librepo-1.7.13-1.fc22.x86_64 dnf-1.0.0-1.fc22.noarch How reproducible: Always (this is a feature request). Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install foo Actual results: Progress meter indicates that two packages are being downloaded simultaneously. Expected results: Upon setting a dnf configuration parameter, the progress meter should confirm that 1 (or 3 or ... ) packages are being downloaded at a time. Additional info:
