How do files continue to download...(suggestion)

Post by fbc »

How do I get my files to continue to download once the active torrent limit has been reached??

Example:
I'm downloading 18 episodes of a show. My active torrent limit is set to 3. Once the first three episodes download, it just stops downloading until those are finished seeding. That is really bad. That could take forever.

The downloads should continue on 3 at a time and seeding should continue on all torrents controlled as a separate entity either by specifying the number of active seeds or total upload(seeding) bandwidth.

Will something like this ever get included in the program? I really like the program. I used to use utorrent in windows and when I made the switch to ubuntu, your software was the most similiar.

go to Preferences->Seeding->"Queue torrents to bottom when they begin seeding"

this will mean that you'll download 3 episodes at a time and then once you've downloaded everything, you will start seeding.

as for the option for specifying the number of active seeds, that functionality will be available in 0.6
