[Bug 138643] Trouble with files accessed over slow network link

[Alex Mauer]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

In gutsy.

Whatever Amarok does with files when it's updating/rescanning the
collection is too intensive for slow(ish) network links.

I don't know if it reads (transfers) the entire file to get a hash of it
or something like that, but it takes simply forever (several days for
40GB) to update the collection when on a relatively slow link
(768kilobit).

Perhaps Amarok should have a "network mode" for this situation, where it
doesn't transfer the whole file (assuming this is what's happening).
Ideally this should be automatically detected, but a manual setting
would be fine too.
