Download resorting and Favorites Resorting

Post by methosrage » 2003-12-20 02:04

I'll cut to the chase. I know that DC has the ability to prioritize bandwidth to files, but I think that it would be better if you could move items in your queue so that you can get them in order. If below is what was in your queue, it would download those files in that order.

File01.txt
File02.txt
File03.txt
File01a.txt

Well with the current status of DC++ 0.305, I don't think that you can resort your queue so that is would me able to download the files in the following order.

File01.txt
File01a.txt
File02.txt
File03.txt

Now I do know that in a real world situation, it wouldn't really matter if the files were text files, but what if they were 200 MB video files or CD Images such as ISOs.

Now on to Favorites Resorting, essentially the same as Download Resorting, but with Favorites.

The priority classes are how you control the order in which files are downloaded. Five levels might not be enough for some users, but it does fit the majority of them. You can take a gander at past threads for overturning the priority system if you want.

You can sort them any way you want, just use the provided Move Up/Down buttons.
