Option to manually priortise downloads

[necrocowboy]

Hi

I know that you can easily change the order of downloads in the download queue as well as time of adding (if using an internal search) but what would be useful is the capability to change priority of a download so it always comes last in the download queue.

Example - currently downloading a box set of 19Gb which is the only item in the list.  If I add another download (either manually or vis RSS feed), it gets added after the long term download.  What I'd like the option to select the large download and make it lowest priority in download queue (eg 5) with RSS feeds higher (e.g. 3) and manually add higher still (e.g. 1).  So new Simpsons episode (added via RSS) would complete before the large download.

This may not be an issue for many but if you have limited bandwidth or are throttled, it would help getting the 'newer' downloads completed faster.

Thanks

The search engine tabs have a 'Add as first' option so you could use that for manually adding downloads. Not what you are requesting but it'll get the job done.
I'm not sure if you can configure similar behavior in the RSS settings as I've never used that feature.

Thanks guys - what I was trying to describe (badly) is the following.

On a limited / throttled connection, I have a manually added NZB downloading a TV series of 19Gb (which will take a while to download).  During this time, a show gets added automatically via RSS feed but gets added into the download queue below the TV series.  During this time as well, I import via nzbindex.com (double click & import) which gets added in at the bottom.

In reality, I'd like the RSS feed to get added above the TV series and the manual add / import as the very first download as it's the one I want first.  My suggested approach would be having a series of configurable priorities such as 1-5 with default of 3 for RSS import & 2 for manual import.  These could be changed so in my example, I'd set the TV series to 5 so it would download eventually, but not at the expense of RSS or manual import.

i understand but i think it will be quite difficult to acomplish. right now alt.binz alway imports nzb either as first or as last. in order to keep manualy afterwards imported nzb's before those imported via rss alt.binz would have to still "remember" by which method an nzb was imported and arange collections acordingly. i am no programmer but that sounds like quite some work... the only thing i can see that you could do right now would be to import rss as first. and once u import an nzb manualy to push it to the top...
