Prioritize rechecking by torrent size in ascending order #5163

Open Nerva72 opened 8 years ago

Nerva72 commented 8 years ago

I frequently download both small torrents at the same time I'm downloading gargantuan ones, and I've noticed that if I restart Windows while qBittorrent is running, it apparently doesn't properly shut down (even though I don't do the "force close"), so when I restart qBittorrent it has to recheck everything that was being downloaded. I am thinking it would be best if it starts by rechecking the smallest torrent and then works its way up in size, rather than have all the small torrents wait until the gargantuan one is done.

Although what you ask makes sense to me, maybe you should focus on making it shut down properly. Personally i close qbit manually before i restart/shut down.

Nerva72 commented 8 years ago

I often do. But obviously there are times when the computer crashes and it is unavoidable. I have also seen qBittorrent hang during a manual shutdown (ten minutes later the process is still there).

4 Years later adding a bump to see if this could be implemented. Coming over from Transmission which does this.

Additional Use Case: Migrating ALL torrents to new hard drive and rechecking all 2000+ torrents of mine bogs down when it hits a large one. MOST are small and could be put back into action sooner if they were checked first.
