qBittorrent official forums

Hi,

I recently switch to qBittorrent from uTorrent because I need a feature to rename individual files which qBittorrent has. However, it is missing other useful features that uTorrent have and would like to see it in future version of qBittorrent.

1. Add queue column that is sortable by user using move up, move down, move top, move bottom. Right now, I cannot prioritize and re-arrange which one download first, second, etc... Please take a look at how uTorrent implement this.

2. In the name column, display the edited name. If I change the name of the file, it should show the new file name, not old file name.

3. Add more delete options: Delete Only Torrent, Delete Only File, Delete All (means delete Torrent and File)

4. Add Force download. If I set a limit of 2 downloads in options, sometimes, I wanted to download more than 2, I should have an option to do force download to override the 2 download lime that I set.

Thanks.

Hi and welcome to our forum ,

A few of your requests are being considered already to be implented/changed. Our developer sledge can inform you about it better than I so wait for his reply on this, thanks.

Thanks. I look forward for his reply to see what features he is working on the feature list above.

1. go to settings and enable the queue (duh) (nemo you should know this)
2. It does display the edited name of the TORRENT.
3. Most of them are unnecessary atm
4. Maybe in v3.2.x IF libtorrent 1.0.0 gets released(because 0.16.x doesn't have that ability)

And to add on

When you have enabled queueing put the '#' column visible in the job list.

1. Sweet... It works. It shows the # column once it is enable.

2. You are right, it works if you manually edit the file name while it is already in queue. I should be more specific.

If you change the name while you first open torrent, then it doesn't show the change. For example, I open torrent file with only one file inside, I select "Save As" and rename the file and click "OK". It shows the old name but not the new name. This is the same if you open a torrent multiple files and you rename the folder name, it show the old folder name. However, in the hard drive it does show the new folder name and file names. It doesn't show it in the qBittorrent.

3. Yes it is not necessary but it is convenience when you want to clean up the torrent cache or data. For example, I always wanted to delete the torrent file only after I no longer wanted to share after a week or so but would like to keep the data. There are times when I don't wanted to finish download the torrent, so I wanted to delete both torrent and data. Please consider it. It make our life lot easier.

4. Definitely looking forward to it.

Also, can you add support to environment variables so that when you add a directory path, it can use like %download% or %appdata%. Thanks.

Edit: never mind. The # column does show up when it is enable. I over look it.

The "Save As" sets the parent location, where the payload will be downloaded to, it does not alter the "name" field in the meta info which is where the name column display text is derived from.

There are times when I don't wanted to finish download the torrent, so I wanted to delete both torrent and data. Please consider it. It make our life lot easier.

Set "Confirm torrent deletion" (Tools -> Options -> Advanced)  to on, and you can.

Thanks for the technical reason for displaying the original file name (for torrent with only one file inside) or folder name (torrent with a folder inside so it doesn't display other files). As a user, we expect it to show and reflect the new name so we know which one is change. There are times we wanted to rename something in QBittorrent but we wouldn't know which one is change if it display the original name.

Set "Confirm torrent deletion" (Tools -> Options -> Advanced)  to on, and you can.

Here, I wanted to delete the torrent file and it's data if I don't wanted to finish downloading the torrent. I want an option that say "Delete Torrent and Data". Not a confirmation if i wanted to delete it or not.

Thanks for all your help.

Try it and see what you get!

Ok I see it now. It ask if you want to delete the files too. If I enable then, it will always ask for delete confirmation which I normally wanted to disable so I don't need confirm before delete.

It would be nice if there is a separtae context menu item called "Delete Torrent and Data" or something. So you can have it both way. Please consider it.

That is the reason I request the following delete options in context menu:

Delete Torrent Only (Keep the data and delete torrent)
Delete Torrent Data Only (deep torrent for future use and delete data)
Delete Torrent and Data  (delete both data and torrent)

Thanks again.
