Shutdown PC after downloads complete

Post by bodya-dnepr »

Can you add this option?

That's why I use uTorrent in Windows and Ktorrent in Kubuntu

Yes. This is on my near-future TODO list.

I have just implemented this in SVN (for future qBittorrent v2.4.0). It will work on all 3 major platforms (Lin/Mac/Win).
Thanks for the suggestion!

Because it useful feature also because if QBIt remain opened it still using the net to update its DHT status....and I don't want it...so personally I prefer to stop it...if this could be done automatically it will be cool :D

vercinstex> You're right, this is a good idea. I promise to implement it in v2.5.0 if you file a bug report at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qbittorrent/+filebug

Truth is that it is difficult to keep tracker of bugs/features request on the forum and I easily for get about them. On the bug tracker, I can assign a bug report to a specific future release in order not to forget about it.

Does this only work with KDE4? I vaguely remember a similar issue with Ktorrent. It wouldn't shut down if you ran it from Gnome.

Hello guys,

you did not understand the idea of downloading via torrent: Torrents base on the upload of other users like you! If you all shutdown the pc, when the download ist complete, the others can't continue their downloads.

So this would not be fair.

Vote for "do not implement this!"

Just my cents

So? Some people just leave the computer there and go to work. They can't put a surveillance cam there, nor pay a 5 digit electricity bill.
It's up to people when they seed, how much they seed.

IMHO forcing them to anything is just stupid.
