Auto start queue based on speed

[Roswell]

Hi i'm wondering if i can set my queue torrent to start automatically if the current active torrent has a slow DL speed.

let say i have 3 torrent list, i start number 1 and if this torrent DL speed drop below 20kB/s, number 2 will start automatically and if number 2 drop below 20kB/s the next torrent (number 3) will start automatically.

i have set the "queue.dont_count_slow_dl" to true and "queue.slow_dl_threshold" to 20000 (20kB) but it doesn't seem to work.

and what number should i set in "maximum number of active download" in options?

currently i set it to one so only 1 torrent active out of 3.

Boy are you asking for the impossible (or at least impractical)

Just think it through, your gueued jobs could be continually swapping around, which might be fine for somebody who has only a very few jobs running, but for a people like myself (100 jobs with 50 active downloads) it would be somewhat of a minefield, and would dramatically increase the resource footprint if all active jobs were being switched on and off continually at some arbitrary threshold.

Yes it's impractical for a very large list.

i have 2 torrent list that keep speeding up and down every few minutes

5 minutes it has top speed and 5 minutes later the speed drop to below 10kB/s

i want to focus to only 1 list at a time but the fluctuation in speed makes it time consuming to focus to only 1 of them.

i guess if i can't tweak with the setting, i have to bear it and just be patient :/

That's about the size of it, or increase the slots if possible.

I also have a feeling that the bittorrent protocol would not make it possible, though I may have to refresh my memory on that.
