Using kubuntu-7.10 & ktorrent-2.2.5.
Have a peak and off-peak download allowance.
Load torrents using cron job to move torrent file to the directory defined as "scan folder" in the early hours of the morning to use off-peak allowance; so far so good all works as expected.

I use the bandwidth plug-in to control the overall usage, but wonder if there is a way to pass parameters to ktorrent at the time of loading a torrent, to control bandwidth used for that torrent, seeding time, ratio etc. as would be possible when manually loading a torrent.

Thanks.

At the moment this is not possible, we could expand the scanfolder plugin to support this.

EDIT: it is possible to set a default max share ratio and max seed time, but not bandwidth for individual torrents

As I thought, but wanted to check with the guru's, so thanks for the response George.

Any chance that this could be added as a feature please.

Thanks,

Sure why not, it is only a small option to add this

George, I'm suitably stunned at the service here.

Thanks for a great product and support, will await the addition.
