Title: Low-Normal-High-Extream
Post by: Anthar on June 26, 2005, 04:29:21 PM
I propose to add Extream priority to amule. Only one file in the whole download list could recive this kind of priority. All sources would be automaticly transfered to this file, no sources would be droped,and even downloading of another file would be stoped if this file might recive a higher speed of download.
Sorry for english.

I see no reason to do it.

Right-click filename >> Extenden options >> Swap every A4AF to this file (auto)

You can disable sources dropping on preferences.

Nonsense. How would you know that this file can receive higher dowload speed than current? I don't think it's a good idea to stop one download, just because the other one might receive higher download speed. This would cause all your files paused when this file starts downloading, which you can do manually, too.

I think that most of these things arent quite known to the common noob user and kinda pain in the neck to do and undo for each download.

I say,the option is interesting,but doesnt deserve to be in the main menu.Most likely some sub menu of the menu,but not the main. :rolleyes:

I think he mean "strict priority" for this file.

First you check, if the download limit in conf is reached. If it is reached, you can lower the other download's speed, say 0.2k/s. If the high prio file gets 0.2k/s more speed, you lower the next download, and so on till the speed doesn't increase anymore.
