Hi everyone,

I always have KTorrent running in the background with no upload or download limit in term of bandwidth, but when I have to commit things on a svn, upload a file on a ftp, or simply send a mail with an attachment, I have to use the right clic menu on the taskbar icon to limit drastically the upload bandwidth allowed to torrents.
But : I often forget to set it back, in the urge of the moment, loosing my dear ratio for no reason.
So, it would be pretty smart to have an option (an entry in the icon menu) to set temporally a "low priority" rate, with an eventually configurable delay, and see the original rate restored automatically afterward.

Ho, by the way, it would be wonderful to have files ordered alphabetically when adding a torrent, even if the new filters options are a great improvement. I've never understood how this list was ordered... by file size perhaps, but nothing very useful IMO.

Thanks for your work, you can be proud of KTorrent !

You can select the column to sort on by clicking the column header

"You can select the column to sort on by clicking the column header"

Actually, no, I can't. It just does nothing, I don't even see the traditional little arrow which shows ascending/descending order :(

The sort will be possible in the 4.1 release, it is not part of the 4.0 branch.
