Problem Description
Neostore currently tries to download everything in parallel. This can sometimes lead to faster downloads, however, it also poses a problem for lower-end devices. On my Pixel 3a, for example, Neostore will hang and crash if it tries to update more than a couple applications at once.
Proposed Solution
To fix this, I propose adding a setting for limiting the number of parallel downloads. This would just be a number from 1 to 10 (or similar) that you can use to change how many downloads will be attempted in parallel.
Alternatives Considered
- Disabling updates from neostore and using stock f-droid for updates
The stock f-droid app does not support parallel downloads. This means downloads are sometimes a bit slower, but it also means that it can get through updating any number of apps, regardless of the device's capacity for parallel downloads.
