cecolon Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Scenario: user is already downloading some large linux distros, which he does not need immediately. Then he finds himself in need of another distro as quickly as possible, and starts downloading it.Feature: some function that makes this torrent the only priority, which effectively pauses all other torrents and resumes them automatically when the prioritized torrent is finished.Alternatively, a feature that puts this torrent in the front of the queue, sets number of maximum active downloads to 1, and resets this number after downloading finishes.

Switeck Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 Put the other torrents to LOW priority, upload slots to 1 for them.Set "hurry up!" torrent to HIGH priority...and possibly even set its seeding ratio low so it will likely meet its seeding goals when it finishes downloading.While downloading, you CAN raise/lower downloading torrents positions in the queue...and then allow fewer active torrents at once so only the "hurry up!" torrent is running.

cecolon Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 I know there are workarounds, but all demands some clicking before and after the download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxwil Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Yes, he's asking for solution which automatically switches priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cecolon Posted August 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Not only priority, but also stops the other torrents until the prioritized one is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xaero Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Set "hurry up!" torrent to HIGH priority...and possibly even set its seeding ratio low so it will likely meet its seeding goals when it finishes downloading.How does seeding ratio affect download speed? I thought it was supposed to come into effect once download was complete.I would say lowering the active torrents to one and putting the HURRY UP torrent first in the queue should do the job.

cecolon Posted August 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 No, that's one of the workarounds I described, and it will "hurt" the other torrents when the "hurry up" torrent is finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 Lowering the seeding ratio matters for queue priority at least if you have seeding tasks set to higher priority than downloading tasks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
