Queue, share and speed limits

How many torrents run at once, a ratio or seeding time that pauses or removes, per-torrent caps, and alternative speed limits on a weekly schedule.

• The queue: how many torrents download, seed and run in all (0 for no limit), and whether a slow torrent holds a slot. Move the selection to the top, up, down or to the bottom with Ctrl+Shift+Home, Up, Down and End; Force Resume (Ctrl+Shift+U) ignores the queue.
• Share limits: a ratio and a seeding time; a finished torrent that reaches either is paused or removed, as you choose. libtorrent only ranks seeds by these limits, so Torrenta applies them itself, once a second, and says so in the log.
• Per torrent (Ctrl+L): download and upload caps, connections, upload slots, first and last pieces first, and a share limit of its own in place of the global one.
• Speed limits, and alternative limits switched by hand (Ctrl+Shift+J, or the status bar’s “Alt speed”) or by a weekly schedule, overnight included.

“Paused” always means paused by you: a torrent the queue is holding back is queued, never paused, and the queue never resumes what you stopped.
