Description Jithin Emmanuel 2009-11-07 03:02:53 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.3.3)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Archlinux Packages

When we have multiple torrents queued and  find that the download speeds for the one are low( having few seeds) Then if I want to start one more torrent I have to goto settings and increase number of downloads in queue manager.

It would be better if a user has the ability to force start a queued torrent. Like providing a force start in the context menu for the torrent. Which moves it to user controlled and starts it.

(i use option 1 download + 2 upload)
it mast be possible true right-click to force start & start to Queue torrents

If you could move torrent to first in queue from right-click menu ("Do the first in queue"), is it solve this problem?

Comment 3 Alexander 2011-09-15 10:36:37 UTC

I really miss this feature as well (coming from Vuze).
If I have 2 concurrent downloads set in preferences, sometimes I want to force-start some slow torrents so that they download in parallel with the fast ones. Otherwise I have to wait for the slow ones to finish (either before or after the fast ones), not utilizing the whole bandwidth.
Simply moving them up or down the queue doesn't solve this at all.
Thanks
