Hi all,

First off, a big thanks to the developers of ktorrent. It is a very nice package. The Gnome Bittorrent client is a bit too primitive for my purposes and Azureus is overkill, but KT is just right. (Yes, I am running Gnome; no flames please!)

In my experience, the operation of ktorrent is more or less self-explanatory, plugins included; it all pretty much just works. However, I haven't figured out what functionality Queue Manager offers. There are no RMB menus or anything indicating any settings of any kind. Can someone give me brief summary of what it does?

Thanks.

The main idea behind the QueueManager is that you are able to set which torrent should next start downloading (or uploading) when another already running torrent switches to completed (or ratio reached) status.

So, if you would for example have set 5 max downloads in settings with 6 torrents in QueueManager driven state. Then the torrent most down in the list should get stopped and only automatically switched to downloading status when there's new room made by another torrent changing status.

The idea of having the user driven state is that every torrent in this state they can be excluded from the "max x downloads or uploads setting". This is usefull if you want to run some torrent outside the QM rules, but still want to keep the normal settings you'll already had for whatever reason.
So the user driven torrents are on there own so to speak, and aren't dealt with by the QueueManager when there is another torrent completing/ratio reached. It can also go over the max limit in settings.

Hope i explained this correct.

Thanks, very helpful.
