You are right. Please be patient. We have several updates pending in that department.

Looks like a bug. If you can generate this behaviour consistently, would suggest reporting it at

https://bugs.kde.org

Either way, there is something wrong and you should try and help solve it by reporting it.

Are you sure you were not seeing only notifications from your phone mirrored onto your desktop and not actual downloads? Bear in mind that is one of KDE Connect’s features, showing notifications on the desktop of stuff happening on the phone. It doesn’t mean that what the notification is telling you is happening on the desktop.

We asked the project maintainers, but they lack the resources and time to moderate a community like that at the moment.

Ah Yes! Super-useful when combined with the KDE PIM calendar and a location, you get all your todos, events and a the weather forecast in one place. Still Plasma 5 only unfortunately.
