Version: 1.5.8-2
Severity: wishlist

mainline @
This causes comics to be updated in sequentially. This means that
when one comic is broken, and takes ages to time out, my network
connection is under-utilized.
Contrariwise, I have so many comics that if I do
for i in `find Comics/ -type d`
do (mainline ${i#Comics/} &)
done
it amounts to a fork bomb, and my system falls over. It would be nice
if mainline itself supported a simple switch like
mainline -j 4 @
which would cause it to start downloading four comics in tandem, and
only start another thread when one of those four finished or crashed.
