Bug Description

Binary package hint: transmission

Ubuntu Version 8.10
Transmission 1.51

The scheduler included in Transmission only allows you to specify bandwidth constraints on a single time-zone that will occur every day (e.g. limit bandwidth between 8am - 10pm every day).

It does not enable the user to have multiple time zone bandwidth constraints (e.g. between 8am - noon and 1pm to 6pm). Nor does it allow users to treat different days of the week differently.

This is a critical flaw in the scheduler as a large number of ISPs employ bandwidth limits for user's connections. These bandwidth limits do not apply in times that the ISP classes as "off-peak". Nor do they apply at the weekend. As a result it makes sense limit Transmission to these times. To do such the scheduler needs to start treating days differently.

I suggest a time table system like the one used in uTorrent (see attachment) although a little more flexibility might be useful for some users.
