I just want an option to unqueue and queue stuff manually! I guess I'll have to downgrade.

I tried that

when there are multiple torrents loaded they are either 'running' or 'not started' or 'not queued'

I have no way of queueing them

the programme doesn't do it, I can't,

is there something that I haven't done because it used to run perfectly until the version upgraded

IMO your better off downgrading, there doesn't seem to be a way to do it.

Look people it is very simple, if the QM is on, and you start a torrent, it will be enqueued (and depending on the order, it could be started by the QM), if you stop a torrent, it will be stopped and dequeued.

Can you readd the manual queue/unqueue button on the next version of Ktorrent?

I'm sure he can change the text of the Start and Stop buttons to Queue and Unqueue, but what would be the point?


Start and stop != Queue/UnQueue.

Hi Bash,

Not trying to be obtuse, but this is the only difference I see between Start and Queue.

Old:
Queue : Queue the torrent to run when it gets to a high enough priority.
Start : Tell the torrent to run right now.

New:
Start : Queue the torrent to run when it gets to a high enough priority, if you want it to run right now move the torrent to the top of the Order list in the Queue Manager GUI.

So, yes, you have to do a slightly different sequence of steps, but they behave exactly the same.

Or am I missing something?,
Sam


It's different. Here I'll have a example.

list of dls
a
b
c
d

Lets say I want to queue a, b and c but don't want to queue d for any reason, I'd have to go and change the whole queue setting to allow 2 downloads at a time. Before you could have a, b and c in a queue and start d without it being in a queue without me having to mess with the queue setting everytime.

What I'm essentially saying is that I don't want everything automatically queued, I just want some of the stuff queued and some not running in a queue.

Unless the feature is readded I'm either going use the older version or just find another torrent software.
