## Queue Manager

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 queue and dequeue torrents in the Queue Manager tab, located in the bottom left corner of &ktorrent; window. There you can also reorder your quelled torrents.

If you manually start or stop a quelled torrent, that torrent will be dequelled.
