Speed display for inactive torrents

[slayers]

Instead of showing "0.0 kB/s" show "-" or leave blank. This would make reading the information panel a whole lot easier. It is particularly difficult now when there are several torrents in different states.

My idea is

Torrent1 Seeding          -      10.8 kB/s
Torrent2 Downloading  13.5 kB/s 
Torrent3 Downloading  18.8 kB/s  20.1 kB/s
Torrent4 Downloading              6.7 kB/s
Torrent5 Queued           -         -
Torrent6 Finished         -         -
Torrent7 Stopped          -         -

I like it.

I don't see the point, since "0.0 kB/s" gets the point across perfectly well IMO.

I think what slayers means is that his suggestion will make the µTorrent interface less cluttered. I'm O.K. with it, but my world isn't going to end if this feature doesn't get implemented.

how can you not see the point?

however you put it, '-' looks a hell of a lot cleaner than '0.0 kB/s'. especially if it's surrounded by a whole bunch of numbers that look alike from every side.

i like the suggestion. it's a small idea, but i hope it gets implemented.

I never have queued torrents, but if I some time would, I agree about it being easier to get an oversight of the status with less numbers shown.

[Determination]

I think this would make good UI sense.

[njeske]

i think it makes sense.

[Smoovious]

I'm all for it... it just helps to make torrents actually registering some traffic much more obvious.

If you only have 3 or 4 torrents loaded at once, it might not be a big deal, but if you have 130 loaded, like me, I'd like to see at a quick glance where the traffic is.

The "-" or a blank field is much easier to skip over and dismiss when skimming the list.

Showing anything but zero for active torrents does not make sense at all. A queued or stopped torrent has no need to show the current throughput. Paused torrents are essentially "active", so showing 0.0 still seems logical.

However, I do agree that a non-numerical character should be in the column when the torrent is queued or stopped, but not paused. Seeing 0.0 in the columns for my queued torrents is a little confusing.

[hendrix]

I like this too.. It works now, but this would be an improvement!

[TurtlesRock]

Not a bad idea, I think it'd make the interface cleaner as well.

[Firon]

I think it's a good idea, except that paused torrents should never display -, they should only display 0.00 or whatever bandwidth is applicable (since it's not fully stopped and occasionally uses a little bandwidth)

[hendrikm]

I would like to suggest this feature, because it makes the interface cleaner and easier to read & interpret.

Developers, are you thinking about implementing this? I would like it!

Thanks a lot Greetings!

Developers, PLEASE remove those "0.0 KB/s". I'm BEGGING you !!

This is the ONLY major flaw of utorrent. That annoying "0.0 KB/s" was the ONLY reason I still tried so many torrent clients after using utorrent.

It would be great to show blank space instead of 0.0KB/s, like in "Peers" tab(at "Detailed info"). You could make it optional (if someone likes that 0.0KB/s), but, as we can see in this thread, almost everyone agree to remove those zeros.

p.s. and thank you for this great torrent client. As I said, I tried many clients, but couldn't find a better one

[Richard Choi]

Look for this in the next build.

[Smoovious]

yay!

[bush]

superb!
