Finish one folder before starting another

Post by Roadblock » 2003-09-19 23:03

Hi

It annoys the crap out of me the way it jumps all over the place , seems for no apparent reason , just to finish all the contents of one folder before starting on another would be a good feature .
Also to have a choice as to which order to dl files from in a queue .

To be able to search for a particular user across all the hubs , it's a needle in a haystack at the moment .

Thanks guys

There is a priority feature, use it wisely and it wont jump all over but complete the folder with highest priority first. 8)

hi

Well l tried the highest priority setting and it still jumps all over randomly , it goes back and finishes but it would be a lot neater to finish the folder its in first .

Finishing the folder first isn't always an option, as dc++ will download something from the first free slot it finds, if a folder u are trying to complete doesn't have the free slot first it makes sense to move on to something else so you dont have the wasted time. If you do want something to start as soon as there is a free slot, just stick it to highest. However I believe a system that would set the next item in a folder to highest priority when one finishes might acheive the result u desire.
