What do you mean? What usually happens when a user has left is that the queue item is marked with "User offline". That's enough, isn't it?Guitarm wrote:Paused ?, hmm...... it's a dynamic network, what should happen when you decide to resume the download and you discover that the user has left?, Should we do a rollback of the file?, delete it alltogether?

If there's a paper about user interface design that says more settings/options is good, I'd be interested, since that seems very counter-intuitive.
But I do like options. The "advanced" label should do its usual job, warning off inexperienced users. And using the tree structure for catogorizing seems necessary now that there are so many options. It's underused as it is.
