Request: priority

Tue Jan 10, 2006 12:47 pm
Is there way to get priority option when downloading folder full of multiple files?

Like if im downloading folder what is full of 5-10mb pictures i would get option (right click mayby) to select what pictures should download first. Priority would be 1-10 where 5 is normal and 10 is low. Or 1-5 where 3 is normal and 5 is low.

Other but not so important (atleast to me) is priority option for torrents.

Well, it could be usefull but there are many things we need to do that, IMHO have a greater priority than this. Offcourse, seeing many votes in this poll could make things quicker ;)

any chance you could open the poll again. :?:

I think this is a great idea, something that I miss, but I can understand if the developers is busy.

I think it doesn't has a big chance to get a higher priority than it already has. Not that it isn't a good feature, it's just that indeed the TODO list is filled with other "nicer" features at the moment. (and big) Take a look in the list and you know what i mean.

Note that this is my view as a SVN tester, i could be totally wrong about it.

It wouldn't be that much work, we allready have a priority system for the first chunks of media files. This is just a bool, so either a chunk has priority or it hasn't.

If we were to change this in a number, this can be integrated pretty easily in the chunk selection algorithm. Then all what we would need to do is expand the GUI a bit.

Hi I know the developers have a lot to do and things like DHT is a very important and a hard thing to do, but I was missing the priority option the other day. So I just search the forum to see if others was missing this feature as well, and to make the point that one more thinks it is a good idea to implement this.
It was not to be a pain in the butt :D

I know that :) Sharing whishes/thoughts are always good, i just felt that i had to give my view of the todo list. But in the end it was a little stupid of me since i am not a dev and all.
It was that i felt bad for George to get asked for the same thing again, but no hard feeling huh ddv?

Sorry I have not answered faster.
Off course there are no hard feelings, I really like the tone in this forum, not like others, where one does not want to write, because people does not respect that there more than one point of view
