canuckerfan Posted July 1, 2007 Report Share Posted July 1, 2007 this would be an awesome feature!lazy feature? what? are you kidding me? if that's a lazy feature then I have no idea what the RSS Feader is... uT devs should make everything manual in that case. this lazyzness stuff is just an excuse to not put it in. ask most people who use bt a lot and they would love this feature.

oliversl Posted July 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2007 I agree, there is no such thing as a "lazy feature". Calling a feature a "lazy feature", is too relative.I hope someone see the light and implement this useful feature. Thanksim a newbie in this world of torrents n stuff. hmm my question may sound real dumb, but i NEED to know abt this - i can switch the system off for sometime n then switch it on n the dowload doesnt have to be done again, right?Yes, you can. Utorrent won't start downloading again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dar_ranzone Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 this is a very handy feature, my computer works like a server for downloading and seeding (especially) so i find precious every minute that my connection is being used to share my releases, i get very upset when i pause the torrent to watch some videos on youtube and i remember some hours later that i forgot to resume the transfers.it might look a lazy feature to some people as you can manually change the scheduler to do that and then change it back. but it is not very pratical if u just want to watch some videos or surf nicely on the web for a whileEDIT: so... is this officially rejected?

oliversl Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Keep the faith .. and please, keep asking for this feature.Since the developer does not read this forums, this feature is not officially rejected or aproved.ThanksOliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Since the developer does not read this forumsThere are multiple developers, and they're frequently on the forum. Case-in-point: alus (the lead developer) posted just a few hours before minutes after I posted this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oliversl Posted March 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Thanks Ultima, things changed quite a bit since the date of this topic first post.So there still hope that a developer can read and comment about this feature request Regards,Oliver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 There is an overhaul to Scheduler planned for 1.9. IF this gets implemented at all I would expect it there somewhere. From what I hear rules-based settings are the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 Eh, it's not that bad of an idea to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robertus Posted March 15, 2008 Report Share Posted March 15, 2008 How can I put it... ermm. OK:I registered for this forum, only to say I WANT THIS FEATURE. This is something I would need like 10x a week.no, not hard enough. I don't think you guys understand how urgent I need it.... mmmmh, let me think... ah, I have it:I would change back to Azureus if it would have that feature! That's how hard I want it!seriously!

NoOneButMe Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Um.. how's this sound.. Ok:I dont think you realize quite how much time/effort it takes to code some things and that getting it done in a way that is easy for everyone to be able to figure out isn't the easiest thing in the world. Also, is it that difficult to just download at night while you're sleeping?Cant forget that the feature request is 2 and a half years old and still not done, so it (most likely) wont be happening any time soon if it does at all.

dar_ranzone Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 this feature in particular is a bit easy to code, and also won't require any complexe codding, if uorrent was an open source i would surely do it by myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 *shrug* If anything, Firon's probably already put it on the potential todo list, considering his sorta-approving tone above. That said, it's probably not high up there on the dev's list of priorities. There are bigger fish to fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Yes, I put it on the todo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LincolC Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 Great feature. I Most of the time I use the UTorrent at full speed, obviously to download th file faster. for just a minute I need to go into some page or download some fole on the web, then I pause all torrents but I forgot to resume... some times until the next morning... I wonder Why it has not been implemented yet.By the way... Thanx for your software UTorrent team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripex Posted June 26, 2008 Report Share Posted June 26, 2008 I want this feature too. I am so sick of forgetting to resume all torrents after finishing some browsing. It's a pity that QoS often just does not work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajmal Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I too want this feature. I have to pause all my torrents every time I do anything which uses a considerable amount of bandwidth like youtube any videos or sometimes even while surfing some sites with a lot of pictures and many times i get frustrated when i see my downloads still paused when i check, sometimes even a day later. I hate it even more when my sister pauses it and forgets to unpause. A simple right-click on the taskbar icon then pause with a timer (or at least something similar which can do the job) would be a huge bandwidth saver.i dont see how 100 bytes extra on 260 kB will bloat utorrent and i think its worth the bandwidth many people can save.

Firon Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Like I said above, it's on the todo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajmal Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Just asking. Is the todo list posted on this site??Just wanted to know what else is coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

res_au Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 I would love it too!even something like going to a browser and going tohttp://whatever:81/pause=5and it paused for 5 minutes, it would stop my housemates complaining about slow internet! heheThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 If they're getting slow internet you have bigger problems to fix.. like settings overload, or a high upload. The high upload can be fixed already through several WebUI interfaces (found in the WebUI forum sticky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alireza_hk Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Great Idea I didn't know it is everybody's problem, I need this feature because I usually pause utorrent to do my work but I forget ro resume...And when I wake up in the morning I realize that my computer was on but nothing was downloaded!I think It could be very easy to implement this feature, It could be like the upload or download limit menu in the system tray and the options for the time in the interface options...

chupakabra Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Very useful feature. I always forget to unpause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
