Hello Admins,

Can you please explain how the "FREE" Tab works while performing searches on SLQT.

If the tab has 'Y', the download starts immediately.However would you please explain how to read the numbers.Is it something like the greater the number,the longer it takes for the download to start.If that's the case, do the numbers have a countdown and on what criteria does the TAB eventually reach a 'Y' Status...

Many Thanks... :-)

That's generally right, if the user has Y in their column that means they have free upload slots (or did when the search result were returned), and should be able to start uploading right away. The number signifies the number of pending uploads currently in their queue. Just because a user has a lot of files in their upload queue doesn't necessarily mean they'll take a long time to start uploading. If they have lots of upload slots assigned one might open soon after. But the higher that number is, the longer you would probably have to wait.
