Show percentage completed in tray balloon

[timothyt]

hey guys,

is this option available in the latest version of utorrent? I kept clicking to open the window from tray and minimizing, and I realized my last manager bitcomet (horrible) showed you speed and percentage of file completed in the balloon. That way I could just hover the mouse and then move away from it. I can't find this option anywhere in the settings though. Thanks!

Uh, if you have a bunch of torrents, which one is it supposed to show?

And is the download bar (right-click a torrent > Advanced > Show Download Bar) insufficient?

Thanks for the reply ultima,

I think it would show the first three, with a total download/upload speed on top. I ask about this feature because my bandwidth only allows me to download 1 torrent at a time, this feature has been helpful to me. The download bar is great! But having a balloon is less clumsy. I guess this feature doesn't exist? That's okay that was my question primarily. Thanks.

Indeed the feature doesn't exist (I assumed you knew, since you posted this in the Feature Requests forum).

I'm not certain showing the first 3 would be helpful either, as there is no real concept of "first 3" outside of the queue order or listview sort order -- what if the user wanted to not mess with listview sorting, but the current "first 3" on that list weren't the ones he wanted to see? Makes it a bit difficult to decide.

A tray icon balloon perhaps is less clumsy, but at the same time, it's a lot more difficult to satisfy users who want specific torrents showing up. As such, the download bar is probably the best alternative. Perhaps the better route would be to look for some way to polish the download bars
