Poll: Resume v. Force Resume

Post by Fuga »

I just realized I really have no idea what the differences are. What the relative pros & cons are.

What do you use? If you are so inclined would you please say why in the comments.

Thanks for any consideration.

Resume is what you normally use.
Forced Resume will run the torrent while ignoring queue and seeding rules.

When to use forced resume?
One example is: You have a queue set for only 3 downloads. But you have a few slow torrents you want to download run no matter what. Forced Resume.

Personally, I use this feature a lot because I use a seedbox. The few things I download via torrent on my PC, are usually already seeded on the box. So I have a 0.00 ratio set in Bittorrent. This pauses torrents automatically once they download. But, if I grab anything that's not on the box already, I use Forced Resume to seed regardless. So they just always run, no matter what.
