Download queue progress + Priority

Post by Kotu » 2003-04-01 01:57

Just 2 things which probably have been brought up before. Would it be possible for all the entries in the download queue to have the same progress bars as current uploads/downloads.

Could a function be added where incomplete files have higher priority over files which have not been started. If a person keeps getting disconnected then each time they start to download again it moves onto the next file rather than carrying on with the semi-downloaded file.

I agree

I have to agree here. It would be very nice if the partially downloaded files had priority over ones that hadn't even been started. Having a bunch of partial files on the hd gets kind of annoying in large quantities.

You're damn right ! Some of this as been discussed before :wink:. Look here to see a post about priority and incomplete files.

Having a progress indicator in the queue list is a good idea, although a numeric value is sufficient IMO.

Yes, a numeric percentage value would be suffucient and very useful.

:wink:
