Traffic limits

Postby -James- » Fri Mar 15, 2024 11:18 am

Hi,

Why there is no option to customize High priority when I want to set upload/download speed? I can set Low and Medium only

Hello,

This is by design. Why do you need it? You can use Medium and Light modes for this.

dear developers,

you would have been given only download and upload speed and in its options one can decide how much traffic to give instead of giving high, medium and low priority.

Usually there are other apps using internet connection so FDM shouldn't use really unlimited speed in any mode, otherwise some apps may get non-responsive. IMO "Unlimited" should be defined as a part of a connection bandwidth and clearly described in FDM Help.

Hi,
thank you very much for your help. But I have another question about modes, hope you can help.
I can choose a priority for each download and I can choose High/Medium/Low mode in the bottom of the main window. What's the difference? What happens when I choose, for example, High in the bottom panel? This mode will be applied to all downloads except those with already specified mode? When I do that nothing changes in the interface, I mean there is no read/yellow/green backlight so I don't know if something happens

Hello,
Downloads priorities allows you to control the order of downloading and the traffic distribution between downloads.
