If he has this tool (per-slot transfer limits) available and chooses to use it, it's his choice and you should respect it, even if you wouldn't act similarly. I may have to deal with it, but I don't have to respect it. Imagine, my friend, if there was an upload speed limiter that was set to max upl...

Yes, you are very right. I would hate to have it bleeding into the system...but it would also be a pain to go into your settings between downloads. See, some folders you may want to auto-sort, and one right after you may not... I see your concern. :cry: But it would be very easy and is a good featur...

You could have the option when you right click on a directory to keep the existing directory structure or to use auto-sorting.

Autosorting finished downloads by filetype

It would be useful to have the option to sort mp3's, avi's, etc into a folder of their own for easier access.

It would also be helpful if other criteria could be used, such as file name or size (or any other search criteria).

:D

Look, I'm not one of those people that will download 400 mp3's back to back, but I sure as hell don't want some kind of session limiter that's going to give my slot to someone else on a 56k. It's not fair. Period. If you're worried about people downloading for days, what about these slow connections...

You are assuming that you get a slot. What if you don't get it? Then I respect that and wait...or get it from someone else. I would hate to see dc++ become some kind of socialist b.s. where everyone has to have equal access to a slot, whether it's taken or not. only check if the user is over the se...

This feature doesn't appeal to me...at all. Take a 600mb movie on a 3 slot uploader, for example. Just say that it takes 4 hours for me to download 100 mb. If I get in on the queue early and secure a slot for myself, I should be done in 1 day. If three other people were getting that same movie at th...

On second thought, cologic: Quote: veteran like Gargoyle This isn't a metaphor, and thus should be: Quote: veteran such as Gargoyle Neither are metaphors. Both are similes. So why are you trying to correct me? Are you saying that, in that particular situation, I should have used a metaphor instead o...

Ha

cologic, I must say, I overlooked my simile solecism. I apologize for my metaphoric barbarism. :oops: Although I hate to quibble over such insignificant details, I will stand by my usage of quote as a noun. www.Dictionary.com agrees: Usage Note: People have been using the noun quote as a truncation ...

I'm with Renegade on this one. Sure, there Z's in his posts, but who cares? It's a style, not a lack of intellegence. What gets me is that a veteran like Gargoyle would continue a dead thread with an insult. Sure, it's true that presentation means something. But the quote was pretty harsh, and I thi...

Sorry, but your way is not necessary. It is easy enough to go to your download queue and right-click the file you want to resume and click search for alternates. when it finds some, left-click on the first one and hold shift and left-click on the last one to highlight all the files. Then, right-clic...

Assuming it was exactly those numbers all the time, then 10KB/s would be the average, and if the cutoff point were still 10%, you'd have to be downloading from me at under 100B/s to get cut off automatically. AND 10% of 3.5KB/s is only 35B/s. You're kidding yourself. These are 1% figures. There's a...

maybe...

I'm not quite sure, but I find mine works when the queue window is open, but not when it's not.

If that doesnt work, put the window up top (although it shouldnt matter).
