Add new torrent to the top of the listing, not bottom

Post by kapalama »

Add new torrent to the top of the listing, not bottom please.

This is more of a philosophical point, but having to deal with things already downloaded tends to make people not seed things that have, because if the downloaded stay in the list at the top, it just gets in the way. If, instead, new torrents were added to the top of the list, there would be less tendency to remove things whose download has completed simply to get them out of the way.

On Mac at least, sort by: Date Added, Reverse Order

I think what he's trying to say is the default should be opposite to the way it is now, and Reverse Sort Order would be like how it is now

I wondered that myself before, but it was simple enough for me to reverse the sort order :P
