Hi, as a novice user of ktorrent, I have a question about how uploads are handled by the Queue Manager.

If I'm not mistaken, the order is what the Queue Manager preferences window shows, allowing the user just to move torrents up and down...

Is there a way to auto manage the queue based in the up/down ratio of the torrents?

The problem is that I want seed many torrents at once, and just limiting the number of active uploads does not give a fair distribution of the upload bandwidth, and if I set them all to manual start, as there is no way to limit the global number of uploads at the same time, each slot is assigned very low bandwidth and the peers usually discard me in favour of other peers.

Thanks.

Hmmmm....

I've been trying setting the queue to user managed and starting all torrents and it looks like the number of uploads is the maximum number of slots globally (maximum seeds setting)

The fact that in QM controlled mode the maximum seeds is used for both the number of slots running *and* the number of torrents in running state got me confused.

The number of upload slots has nothing to do with the maximum number of seeds.

OK, Plese, tell me if one of the following is wrong:

* Max running slots = Maximum uploads x Number of upload slots.

* In a completely user managed queue there is no limit of running uploads.

* In a completely QM managed queue there will be Maximum uploads torrents seeding, each of which can have as many uploads slots as Number of upload slots.

* Queue is completely sequential, only obeys to the order in the QM interface and only stops a torrent and seeds the next queue torrent in the queue if one of the limits imposed by Max share ratio or Max seed time.

* In a completely QM queue, torrents that are queued are not announced to the tracker, so the tracker don't see me seeding them.

* Even if the torrents that are seeding have no demand, ohter queued torrents will not start.

* I assume there isn't a way to make the queue more "fair", for instance ratio controlled or peer/seed ratio controlled like in amarok.

That is pretty much correct

But there isn't a way to automatically prioritise files based on their upload ratio?
