Where is "available" column?
Posted: Mon Apr 25, 2016 10:05 am
I've just started using qbittorrent after many years with utorrent. I am happy with this client: it is quicker, uses less resources, and crashes less. There is one vital feature that I'm not finding, probably it's there but perhaps named differently. I've searched all over the web before coming to the forum, but just can't find an answer anywhere. It's one of those things that don't yield too well to search terms.
The question: In the strip above the downloads, where you can customise the columns you see, such as Name, Size, Downloading, Remaining, etc. all the other torrent clients have had Available, and I don't find that here. I think that's absolutely vital as otherwise you can spend time and bandwidth constantly downloading files that are not, and never will be complete. We can see how many seeds, yes, but sometimes a seed you can see is not actually available due to other factors. Sometimes there might be a complete file available, even though there are no seeds, if different leeches are sharing different parts of the file. Without the Available column, there is just no way of knowing if the file will ever finish.
I'm guessing there is another way to know this, or that you have renamed this column, but for the life of me I can't find it.
I appreciate any help in solving this problem.
Thanks in advance!
