Seperate enable "downloading" and enable "filtering" of feeds #29

What would you like to see added/changed?
Seperate options in the feed setup for "Enable Downloading of feed" and "Enable 
filtering of feed"

How would this improve your experience? What is the benefit of your
suggestion?
At the moment enabling a feed to download and be filtered is a single option, 
but it might actually useful to have a feed download but not get filtered 
automatically (ie. only enabled for manual download of selected torrents)

Enabling the feed just means that it will be downloaded and can be used for 
filtering.  This does not apply any filtering to the feed.  Filtering rules are 
created and attached to a feed after the fact.  So if you enable the feed, but 
don't create any filters for it, you've done exactly what you are saying.  Am I 
missing something?

True, but if you don't assign your filters to a particular feed then it applies 
to all the feeds, which is also a very good feature.

I use two main feeds for all my filters so don't specify a feed for any of 
them, however I would like to add another feed which I would like to be 
basically Manual download only and not apply to any of the feeds.

Not really a big issue I guess, I can use an alternative reader for that feed, 
as it will be manual download anyway.
