Question on queue functionality

[cynicist]

In Ktorrent, there is an adjustable timer for stalled torrents but in Qbitorrent there is just a checkbox which says, "Do not count slow torrents in these limits". I don't particularly care about configuring this value or anything; I'm just curious how this feature works. What is the time limit and what speed counts as slow? (This will help me determine how to configure it or whether I will use queueing)

Try setting "Maximum active torrents" to something high or -1 (unlimited), because this setting is considered "hard" and from my experience it breaks queuing when set too low.

active_limit is a hard limit on the number of active torrents. This applies even to slow torrents.
...
At a regular interval, torrents are checked if there needs to be any re-ordering of which torrents are active and which are queued. This interval can be controlled via auto_manage_interval in session_settings. It defaults to every 30 seconds.
...
if dont_count_slow_torrents is true, torrents without any payload transfers are not subject to the active_seeds and active_downloads limits. This is intended to make it more likely to utilize all available bandwidth, and avoid having torrents that don't transfer anything block the active slots.

That was exactly the information I was looking for, thank you. I didn't think to check for a libtorrent-rasterbar manual even though that's obviously where this stuff comes from.
