Alternative Download (Turtle Mode) Availability

[kafantaris]

Apologies if this has already been addressed. Is there a way to enable/disable the global alternative download rates (turtle mode) on the TUI?

No, I don't think that's implemented IIRC.

But with chained key bindings and the ratelimit command you have even more finegrained control:

bind --context main r+d+l rate --quiet dn 10Mb global
bind --context main r+d+m rate --quiet dn 50Mb global
bind --context main r+d+h rate --quiet dn 75Mb global
bind --context main r+u+l rate --quiet up  1Mb global
bind --context main r+u+m rate --quiet up 10Mb global
bind --context main r+u+h rate --quiet up 45Mb global

If you press r(ate), d(own), h(igh), it sets your download rate to 75 Mbit/s. r(ate), d(own), l(ow) sets it to 10 Mbit/s and so on.

The only drawback is that you don't have these switches in other clients as you would with turtle mode.

This is the main reason I want this switch hehe. Using stig is great on PC but not that much on my phone screen through SSH (small screen doesn't scale well), so I use Transdroid. From Transdroid there's a convenient button to activate turtle mode, but it gets really confusing when I'm back on my PC and see no indication of any limits (although there are!)
