Full network shutdown (pause) button #5039

Open birdie-github opened 8 years ago

birdie-github commented 8 years ago

Please add a red square button to QBT's toolbar which basically makes QBT stop sending any network packets or replying to any network requests.

Of course you may argue that we already have the "Pause All" button, but it doesn't really stop network communication - for istance QBT keeps on updating its DHT cache.

Why not just exit an application? Well, because sometimes it's easier to leave it running than to wait for its shutdown and startup (and the latter can be very time consuming when you have hundreds of torrents).

I am also missing this feature. When some of the torrents are paused, i assume "Pause/Resume all" will break that and all will be resumed. Cute would be if Tray icon would reflect some red sign to keep one aware of disconnection.

I guess this feature should be fairly easy to implement but since I'm lacking C++ skills I might be totally wrong.
