The Queue Manager enables you to fully automatize starting and stopping of torrents. This is useful when you want to dedicate your bandwidth to few torrents and automatically start next torrent when one is finished. When a torrent is opened in &ktorrent;, it will be quelled and set as last in the list of quelled torrents.

You can also use <link linkend="recommended-options">recommended options</link> to set this settings. If you do not want to queue your torrents set both options to <option>0</option> (unlimited).
