Auto Managed - Can you clarify the FAQ explanation?
Posted: Fri Mar 27, 2015 2:39 pm
I think I may be having problems understanding "Auto Managed".
I have read the FAQ response here:
http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... oManageddo
And I thought I understood, but now that I read it more closely, I think I still don't understand what the use case is for this feature and have now turned it off on all torrents. Or maybe I don't understand the queued/seeding/active statuses.
Or maybe there is a bug that causes the feature to not work correctly on all systems?:

"Auto Managed" is named in a way that makes one assume that it should be enabled on all torrents. But it seems like deluge actually works the way one would expect by default without auto manage enabled. If you have 100 torrents, and you want to keep seeding all of them, but limit the number of "active" torrents, you set limits in your queue preferences, and this works as one would expect. But if you also set those torrents to "auto managed" then trackers will no longer "see" your torrents that are not actively being seeded within your limits, and it will look like you are not actually seeding those torrents at all. They get moved into a queued state instead.
Is that how it is supposed to work? Doesn't that mean that it will break your seeding of a completed torrent before reaching your ratio, and therefore making you become a leech? Or maybe auto manage only works if you have no limits set on any of your queue settings? I don't really get it and I wonder if the FAQ might be tweaked to make it clear who should use this feature and when?
I love deluge and am most grateful to the entire dev team and community for this great software.
