Two small suggestions on the "start new torrent" dialog

Post by Beer »

Hi.  I'm not sure what to call the dialog I'm talking about since it has no title. When you open a new torrent or magnet link from the browser or whatnot, a dialog asks you where you want to download it to, and allows you to select the files to download.  That's the screen I'm referring to here.  I have two small suggestions for this.

1. Remember the last selection where you chose to download your torrent to.  This one is actually starting to drive me kind of nuts.  It saves a history of where you have downloaded to, which is great.. but it always sorts the list alphabetically and I have to change it every time. 

2. An option to download sequentially from this dialog would be nice.  Rather than having to start the torrent, then right click and enable the option (at which point other pieces have already begun downloading).


That's it.  Thanks

Check the box for "Do not start torrent automatically" and it won't start downloading.

i'll add my suggestion here instead of starting my own thread. i would like to see an "add to top of queue" check box in the start new torrent dialog.

+1 for beer's 1st suggestion. Remember last download location.

Also please increase number of locations in history drop-down. I think it tops out at 9 locations. Can we choose a higher number like 15 or 20?


Thanks for all your hard work devs!
