Smart Closing & Smart Shutdown / Restart seeding option

Open iAvoe opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

Suggestion

Smart Closing: When this option is ticked, closing qBittorrent will stop accepting new seeding queues, eventually close when all uploads are finished. Smart Shutdown / Restart: Above feature with capability to shut down or reboot the operating system, only accessible with a right-click context menu, or Tools(T) in toolbar.

Use case

When user installs a system update that requires a restart, and they can wait a bit, this feature will provide a more graceful program termination for the downloading end. (In my case I am the only seeder for a bunch of torrents simply because these are like 20 years old files).

Improving seeding on standard PC, which would save average user's cost on investing for a NAS or server, which increases the likelihood for them to donate. Consider this is valuable enough to be a premium add-on.
