Quick Pause for all torrents??

Post by john »

I have a VOIP phone. When I'm downloading torrents, my phone sounds great on my end, but the person calling has a hard time hearing. Before I discovered Deluge (which is great!), i used Azureus which had a quick one-click menu item for "pause all" and "resume all". I don't spend much time on the phone, so that was perfectly adequate.

So my question is: when the phone is ringing, and I only have seconds to rush over to my computer before answering the phone, is there a quick way of pausing all torrents (short of yanking the ethernet cable out)?

My system is Debian 6, Deluge 1.2.3. If the answer is obvious, I apologize for not seeing it.

Two options:
  1. Ctrl-a (to select all torrents) then hit the "pause selected" button in the main bar
  2. The toggle plugin: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Plugins/Toggle

That's great. I also found, quite by accident, that if I leave the sidebar showing State, I can right click on All, and select Pause All.

I'm finding that I like Deluge much better than Vuze/Azureus. Thanks for the help.
