Where is the Max D/L box?

Pardon my ignorance, but I can't figure out how to raise the number of simultaneous downloads allowed. Where has the that little box gone, that used to be in the transfers window? I see nothing in the options panes either. Using Qt, of course.

There's no limit to the number of simultaneous downloads, but you can limit the maximum download speed. You're actually the first person to bring this up, but if there's enough interest in it I'll implement it.

I really love that box too, It was the main reason i used the old slsk nt version all this time that qt has been released.
please put this feature on , it's really important for me. I have low bandwith and I want to put all of it on just one download. I know the new qt versions has the pause option which really helps, but u have to be with your computer all the time to unpause the others as the last one finishes.

thank you.

I see, well, it's not that i need to be able to LIMIT the number (i thought there was a limit already because of instant queudness, but now I realise that it wasn't a local queing happening) - However, one thing I really miss is the "get place in line" option. Any plans on implementing that? I find myself looking for this every time I encounter the instant queuing.

I get it now. I see it happens automatically, the column was just not visible.

You could right click on a file in your queue and hit "retry" if for some reason the in-line place number fails to appear. That seems to work for me.

I, too, would LOVE to have the ability to choose the number of downloads allowed at once again. As AlbertCamus said, its very useful so you don't have to be at your computer all the time to pause or resume downloads.

It's the only thing missing to complete the package, please make it happen! Thanks!
