Suggestion: Pause download
« on: January 10, 2006, 07:51:23 PM »

Is it possible to pause downloads to continue later? I think this is a basic feature.

This is a feature that I want very much as the majority of my usage is for automated backups; I sometimes want to pause them while I do other bandwidth-intensive tasks. 

How would I download the latest beta?  I don't see it placed anywhere obvious in the downloads area.

P.S. I am a registered user and think that this is the kind of software that makes me remember why I love using Macs.

Release 1.5:
For using the "Transfer / Pause" menu option, one must click in the Mac Browser first, in order to enable it. And it pauses only the selected item(s) so transfer of queued items (if any) initiates.
In order to quickly pause everything, one has to:
- show the Queue drawer
- select all
- click on the tiny "Pause" button

Replacing the "Transfer / Pause" menu option with a "Transfer / Pause all" menu option or/and adding a "Pause all/Resume all" icon in the toolbar would be handier  Wink

The "Transfer / Pause" option does not require the Mac browser to be clicked first. It doesn't matter which browser is currently focused.

The option was created with the Queue in mind, allowing the user to pause individually queued transfers. In the case of no queue items being selected, the first item in the queue is chosen automatically.

A Pause All / Resume All option would probably make more sense for the menu bar Smiley

Thanks for the feedback!
