Queues and scheduler

Queues

Every download belongs to a queue. Start download runs a file straight away; Download later puts it in the queue you choose and waits.

• Order: drag downloads in the Queues window. The top one starts first.
• At a time: each queue can have its own limit, or follow the global one (Preferences → General, default 3).
• Start Queue / Stop Queue on the toolbar act on the queue you’re looking at.
• Synchronization queue: when started, finished files in it are re-checked on the server and downloaded again if they changed.

Scheduler

Open Scheduler from the toolbar.

• Start and stop times, every day, on chosen weekdays, or once.
• Overnight windows work — for example 01:00 to 07:00.
• When done: do nothing, notify, sleep, or shut down. Sleep and shut down show a 60-second banner so you can cancel.
• If the computer was asleep at the start time, the schedule catches up when SQDM starts inside the window.

Quotas

For metered connections: Preferences → Speed & quota sets an hourly or daily limit. The status bar shows how much of it is used.
