priority

[iceb]

hi

I have heard that transmision have an option called
priority.

Is this true ?

Is it working like this with a multiple choice of how to set it up like this ?

option1= normal
option2=slow
option3=fast

What is the default option for priority ? Can I change the default option to
start to be not normal but fast (option 3)
or is it stuck on normal )option1)??

best regards

you can prioritize either the downloading of individual files of a multi-file torrent, and/or prioritize the downloading of specific torrents. with the daemon this is controlled by transmission-remote:

Code: Select all

$ transmission-remote --help
.
.
 -ph  --priority-high          <files>     Try to download these file(s) first
 -pn  --priority-normal        <files>     Try to download these file(s)
                                           normally
 -pl  --priority-low           <files>     Try to download these file(s) last
.
.
 -Bh  --bandwidth-high                     Give this torrent first chance at
                                           available bandwidth
 -Bn  --bandwidth-normal                   Give this torrent bandwidth left over
                                           by high priority torrents
 -Bl  --bandwidth-low                      Give this torrent bandwidth left over
                                           by high and normal priority torrents

the default behavior is "normal", but you can change it at any time.
