DL speed column, ability to set the transfer stat. and RSS
« on: April 14, 2007, 04:38:45 am »
Hi, very nice program. Ive been using it for a while. Just two suggestions...

The first is a download speed column in the "Download queue" tab. I know its displayed on the status bar, but I find this useful.

The second is the ability to change the total transfer statistic. Right now there is a reset, but no set feature.

The third is RSS support. Sites like tvnzb, newzbin, binsearch and newsleech have RSS feeds and it would be nice to use that to schedule automatic downloads.

Anywayz, great program. :)

EDIT: A few more..

Ability to start up minimized to tray.

Double clicking a search result sends it to the Download queue.

And clear history (but not the DL statistic) on shutdown.

I really don't see why would anyone change their download bytes value? I explained it in other thread how to do it, but as an option I just don't see reason? RSS is already implemented (not yet public) Startup as minimized is already there(check changelog for exact startup switch)
There is clear history button in setup

There are multiple reasons why someone would want to change the DL value.

1. If they are migrating from one computer to another.
2. If they are re-installing windows.
3. If they are switching from another usenet client to this one.
4. If they download from usenet from multiple locations (home, school, work, etc) and want a running total.

Then, forget about it. No way to change transfer value.

Which is exactly why a feature to modify the DL statistic is needed. :)
