Dear friends:
First I want to thank you for creating torrent2exe. I think it is an excellent program which I had been using for almost a year now (v1.0). I strongly believe that "simple is beautiful", isn´t it?
My request maybe a little silly.
Seeding is a very important part of sharing in a P2P scheme, right? So if you download information that you consider valuable you also want to be fair to other people by allowing them to download it too from your pc.
A couple of times in which I had happened to be downloading HUGE torrents --that´s 5 to 7 Gigabites-- I had to reboot my computer (because of some other unrelated application).
Once I restart Torrent2exe, it checks where it left off and continues flawlessly the downloading process, but it RESETS the "Uploaded:" counter to ZERO.
Now, in those cases the "Uploaded:" value had been greater than the "Downloaded:" value so when the downloading process ends I would have to seed for a very little time --since Torrent2exe had already been seeding information-- or don´t have to seed at all AND STILL BEING FAIR to others.
If by the time the downloading process ends the "Uploaded:" counter has a small value, Torrent2exe tells me that I would have to seed for other extra nnn hours or n Gigabites or something like that.
Would it be practical/possible for you to have an internal "Uploaded:" counter which updates itself every 5 minutes or so? It doesn´t have to be incredible accurate, it would just have to keep the approximate value.
Off course I can stop the seeding process anytime I want but I would have to ask myself: "well now, how much of this stuff have I already uploaded and how much longer do I have to keep seeding it to BE FAIR to others?"
Believe me, those are not easy questions to answer when your pc have been downloading a torrent for an entire week (24x7) and two and a half weeks in other case.
Thanks for your help!
