Can I make seeds take priority over downloads?

Post by psantucc »

Greetings. I'm having trouble making Deluge 1.0.3 behave the way I had set up my 0.5 installations - what I want is for my completed downloads to seed to the limit, occupying a queue slot and preventing the start of more downloads until they have seeded completely.

This FAQ entry is relevant:

But doesn't explain how I can set up according to my needs. Ideas?

Thanks.

It's not really possible with the current system. I think we can add an option in the future to give seeds the active slots before downloads.

Thanks for your complete and quick reply; for now, I'm adding new torrents in paused mode and resuming them when current seeds finish.

I would like to request the option you mentioned in a future release. It would be most helpful to those of us who frequent ratio limited trackers.
