Feature request: Daily download limit.

Post by Lancair »

Hi guys. I find Transmission, but there is one feature that I would find really useful - the ability to set a daily limit on the total amount downloaded.

Why? Well, I live in a quaint little backwater called Australia and suffer the inhuman download limit of 10GB a month. So, if I leave Transmission running I can easily blow a few day's worth of downloads.

What I would like would to be able to set a daily limit on the total amount downloaded - 100mb, for example. After this, Transmission pauses all downloads until the next day.

Possible?

This probably is not going to happen unless someone submits a patch.

what you can do is put a speedlimit and set a time for that (put your global speed at 0)
then put in your download speed and calculate the amount of hours you want to have that limit so it won't pass your download bandwidth
