But why do you need such a button?
And by the way, you can cancel a transfer and then resume it again. Thats quite the function your looking for, isnt it?

Pause isn't exactly fair you see, so I doubt he'll ever put it in.

There is a way to "pause" the download. Remove all the sources. And then re-add them when you're ready to download again. I assume you have to re-add them before closing DC++, though I'm not sure, haven't never tried it before, nor having looked at the code or any other files to find out.

The reason it would be unfair to impliment this, is the implication that if you were downloading from someone you'd keep your slot. I'd think that hitting the "pause" button would close the current download slot if it existed and then DC++ would ignore the file as far as trying to connect and request it from users would be concerned, until such time as you unpause it. Done like this I don't think it'd be unfair. And would be a lot easier on the user than the work-around I described above.
