Hello ktorrent-programmers!

I am facing a problem that maybe more people have: I have a traffic-quota (10GB down, 2GB up per week atm) and if I exceed that quota on either upload or download, my connection is throttled down to a few kb/s until it's being reset at the end of the week, which makes even simple surfing a torture.

Now my question: Could you integrate a function that allows me to (manually) tell kTorrent that it should continue to download, but only to a certain global down/up-traffic? And if a mark is reached either stop the torrents completely or set the global down/up-speed to like 1kb/s (or whatever the user wants).

Would be perfect to have this option right at the front GUI in the bottom-line where it says now:
Transferred down: xx.x GiB / up: xx.x GiB

add two input boxes:
Transferred down: xx.x GiB of [yy.yG] / up: xx.x GiB of [yy.yG]
(entering 0 should mean unlimited)

This should be at the front GUI because the remaining traffic I have changes a lot due to other internet usage.

Then in the kTorrent settings there could be the other options for this feature:
~ Activate global traffic control [yes | no] (makes the boxes appear/disappear)
~ If max download traffic is reached: [stop all torrents | set global download speed to x kb/s | do nothing]
~ If max upload traffic is reached: [stop all torrents | set global upload speed to x kb/s | do nothing]
~ If both max traffic limits are reached: [stop all torrents | keep with above settings]


I hope you get the idea

Looking forward to a reply

best wishes
