TheDude Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Hi !The "status" line should tell you what is going on with the torrent.Often, there are torrents where the seed is not there (the person seeding only has use of the PC during certain times of the day, for example, or alternately, simply that everyone is waiting for a kind soul who has those files to notice that there is no seed).In those cases, it would be very helpful for the status to NOT say "downloading", since no downloading is occurring, but instead say "working" or "connected" or some such.So:IF torrent_download_speed > 0.0, "status" = "downloading"ELSE IF torrent_download_speed = 0.0, "status" = "connected"Thanks !!

Ultima Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 I don't see the problem with looking at the download speed in conjunction with the status, since if you're looking at the status, you're probably going to end up looking at the download speed anyhow, whether it's actually moving or not.

ColdArmor Posted November 14, 2005 Report Share Posted November 14, 2005 Does it really matter that much? Just close your eyes and imagine that Downloading says Connected. =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animorc Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 It would be a very unstable column then I fear. I'm usually sorting the torrents by status, and I wouldn't like the torrents to jump around all the time.ColdArmor: You're the 64th registered user on µTorrent Forums. #1 doesn't exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JigPu Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Actually, I kind of like this idea. I don't know if it really works with µTorrent's minimalist take, but it'd be something I'd be interested in seeing in some client JigPu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 Have to agree with Animorc here, The column would change alot.. Beats the purpose for me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDude Posted November 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 How about a color change ?(Obvious no one is actually using the status word to give them the "status" of the torrent, they just want it to be sorted right. So, color would not change the sort order.)If the torrent speed is 0.0, then the status word would be "downloading" in red, to indicate that something is not right.BTW, it sounds like most of you are downloading the latest "cool" release, with 1000 peers, because most of my requests have to do with torrents with only a few peers. It's those dubious torrents where the features really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 I proposed something similar here too, with nice screenshots and all, but it got shot down and died. But hey, at least we have a static alternate row color in the newest build, though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
