Multiple Download Ques

Post by armc »

I would like to have the option for Multiple Download Ques (2 or 3). The purpose is to enable the user to have multiple cues for sorting what will be downloaded.

Use Case: User has several torrents s/he is downloading. Some are larger, mega downloads while others are smaller. The user wants the progress of larger downloads to be continuous, but not block all download ports for smaller/quicker downloads. This will enable a better user experience with potentially less management of downloads.

Implementation:
> Primary Cue is default.
> Other Cue can be specified based on user configuration.
> Cues are available from context menu / menu bar / tool bar.
> Cues are configurable by user and include custom name, custom band width settings, custom "move on complete" setting, and number of allocated download slots at a minimum. Download slots (active torrents) accross all Cues are cumulative.
> API support for plugin use (ie - YaRSS plugin could use this to assign watch listed torrents to specific cue).

I think it is a killer concept I haven't heard of in any other torrent application. Would really love to see this implemented very quickly.

Thanks for building a fantastic torrent client. I love it and have been a user since ~2008. Keep up the fantastic work.

The latest libtorrent 0.16 has torrent priorities but can only be included in future major Deluge versions, i.e. not 1.3 series.
set_priority()

This sets the bandwidth priority of this torrent. The priority of a torrent determines how much bandwidth its peers are assigned when distributing upload and download rate quotas. A high number gives more bandwidth. The priority must be within the range [0, 255].
