How Do I Tell How Far Along The Queue I Am?

[Sparkle1984]

I was just wondering, when you have requested a file from someone, how can you tell when you are moving up the queue?

I know when you first make the request, it gives you a number like queues 14/20, but once you have started the request, how do you know when you are moving up a place in the queue, so you have an idea of how long you have to wait before th download starts?

the bot tells at random, if the bot is being hammered, it takes a bit to tell you. by "a bit", it could be an hour, or more. but there is no command to tell you

it usually says in the window that ur currently in queue # whatever

I'm not even sure if I did it right, as I never saw my queue # in the window. I was on TMD Moviez for several hours, and yet I never received a single byte.
I followed their rules for searching for the film using the @find command, and then several boxes popped up of people who have the film. I chose one which had a queue of 14/20, and keyed in the trigger phrase. Then I got back a red message with the person's name in it, and nothing seemed to happen after that.

If you've ever used TMD, do you know what could have happened?

do you have xdcc klipper (or something like it) It tells you how far in the queue you are (and then some) http://xdccklipper.sourceforge.net I think that's the site, just download it and follow the readme, it's really cool.

Usually if I have to wait in que, I leave it alone for a couple hours and when I want to see how far along in the que I am, I just scroll up and look for the red/burgendy text. It is usually easy to spot and the color is only used to display your que status.

Another thing you can do is do a Find (alt f) and search for "you have been qued" and search up until you find the last time the bot said it.

When the bot actually "tells" you something, it's never accurate.
