Bug Description
This is NOT a 'bug' report, but every time I've tried to connect for 'Wish List', this is all I can find, so I'm guessing that this is where anything of that nature is to be posted.
I would very much like it if the program offered a 'pause' feature. A separate 'pause all uploads' and 'pause all download' would be nice, as would an overall 'pause all transfers'.
There are times that I'd like to disable up/downloads - immediately cutting off all data transfers - for a couple minutes for anything from downloading a program patch to briefly using an up/down-heavy website. For a brief shut-off, it takes a lot of effort (and time for the refreshing of a large file list) to actually close the program. And, at times, I may only need one or the other (either upload or download use), so pausing upload and download independently would be great.
The 'pause' function for individually selected files isn't workable for this, because very often I've spent time setting different priorities for multiple files (which, obviously, would be lost), not to mention the pausing in the download area having no effect on uploading.
Thanks for considering this.
You can not disable transfers but you can easily minimize the transfer rates independently (even to very small rates) with bandwith limiting so you can free up your bandwith easily.
For the pause buttons, DC++ will never have pause function for uploads because it can be abused. Quick pause of all downloads is a good idea, this function may can be incorporated into an easier bandwith rate setting control in the future.
