Totally irrevelant in this case... not surprised to your answer.

P.P.S. On your screenshots, the number of active downloads is 2-3. Still, 25/3 or even 25/2 is a way too low for torrents. This can be a kind of appropriate for regular downloads btw.

P.S. Your config is a joke :) What's the point to have 25 connections limit for 15 (!) downloads?? Thus, you allow 25/15=~1.7 connections per download. How can you expect any reasonable speeds with such a config? This config is inappropriate even for non-torrent downloads.

Hello,

I've already told you that this can be a bug and we'll check it. But yes, this is normal during some period of time (I don't remember, maybe 30-60 seconds). It's by design.

However, it's a torrent. It depends on available peers. You can download on a full speed and stop downloading at all in a few seconds if a single peer leaves (for example), or the downloading speed can drop dramatically at any time. Regardless of the torrent's priority.
You can expect a reliable downloading speed only in case there are enough active seeds on this torrent. This means, also, that you can still have bad speeds even in case you have, for example, dozens of seeds and hundreds or even thousands of leeches. :)

25 for maximum total number of connections is a way too low for torrents. You are just choking your torrent downloads by such a config.

So you think thi sis normal?

super store can be downloaded with 4-5mb speed when its prioritized. but when it is not priotized its not even downloaded properly even tho there is available bandwith. If you think this is normal then it's time to switch back to idm. Its so dumb that i have to discuss this problem with you. a download manager cannot properly adjust speeds when there are available bandwith.

There is no issue with order handling on your screenshots. FDM always downloads in the order downloads were added. Except the case when the user has enabled user-defined order and changes it using arrows.
Your downloads list is sorted by name, so you can't see the actual order of downloading. Sort it by date added (or custom order) to see the actual order of downloading.

Could you please post here a screenshot with your Traffic Limits settings?

Hello,
It tries to keep bandwidth free in a hope that the green download will be able to utilize it at some time.
However, in case this does not happen during a reasonable period of time, it should also let the other less prioritized downloads to use more bandwidth. If it does not happen, it could be a bug. We'll check it.

I don't see any pending pull requests. Please make sure it's not an issue on your side. The repository is located here: https://github.com/FreeDownloadManagerT ... calization.

It seems there are still problems about download order and bandwidth handling...

Check this out, my 5MB download speed NOT even accessed by FDM let alone shared correctly, when there are different priorities set.
Image

5MB bandwidth is accessed by FDM if all priorities are set equal. But then there won't be any simultaneous downloads. So FDM is not checking my maximum bandwidth and sharing it among downloads.
Image

For me it is a big problem for a software that says "download manager" in its title. Since it is not managing anything. Only thing FDM is capable is to download something. also i sent pull request for language translation update but it seems no one cares its been months... total joke.
