Managing downloading of content

A computer system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• one or more memory devices coupled to the one or more processors;
• and
• one or more computer readable storage devices coupled to the one or more processors, wherein the one or more storage devices contain program code executable by the one or more processors via the one or more memory devices to implement a method of managing downloading of content, the method comprising:
• receiving, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a request to download content by a user;
• determining, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a position of a given piece of the content being rendered on a display;
• receiving by the one or more processors of the computer system, sensed information that captures a direction of a gaze of the user relative to the position of the given piece of content on the display;
• analyzing, by the one or more processors of the computer system, the sensed information received that captures the direction of the gaze of the user relative to the position of the particular given piece of the content on the display;
• determining, by the one or more processors of the computer system, an interest in the content based on the analyzing of the sensed information, received;
• and
• adjusting, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a rate of download of the content by the user based on the determining.

A computer program product, comprising a computer readable hardware storage device storing a computer readable program code, the computer readable program code comprising an algorithm that when executed by one or more processors of a computer system implements a method of managing downloading of content, the method comprising:

• receiving, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a request to download content by a user;
• determining, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a position of a given piece of the content being rendered on a display;
• receiving, by the one or more processors of the computer system, sensed information that captures a direction of a gaze of the user relative to the position of the given piece of content on the display;
• analyzing, by the one or more processors of the computer system, the sensed information received that captures the direction of the gaze of the user relative to the position of the given piece of the content on the display;
• determining, by the one or more processors of the computer system, an interest in the content based on the analyzing of the sensed information received;
• and
• adjusting, by the one or more processors of the computer system, a rate of download of the content by the user based on the determining.
