🎉 Daily, Weekly, and Enqueued Upload Limits

This release adds the ability to configure limits for the number of files and megabytes that can be enqueued and uploaded daily and weekly on a per user basis. Users can now prevent people on the network from clogging up queues and downloading excessive amounts of files and data.

Combined with the speed and slot limits introduced in 0.15.0 users now have full control over their shares.

Full documentation can be found here and here, but here's an example that illustrates the various options and behavior:

YAML

global: # global limits apply if group-specific overrides have not been set
  limits:
    queued: # files that are either in the queue, or in progress
      files: 500
      megabytes: 5000
    daily: # files uploaded in the previous 24 hours
      files: 1000
      megabytes: 10000
      failures: 200
    weekly: # files uploaded in the previous 7 days
      files: 5000
      megabytes: 50000
      failures: 1000
groups:
  default:
    limits: # limits specified here override global limits
      queued:
        files: 150
        megabytes: 1500
      daily: ~ # apply global limits (weekly still apply)
      weekly:
        files: 1500
        megabytes: 15000
        failures: 150
  leechers:
    limits:
      queued:
        files: 15
        megabytes: 150
      daily:
        files: 30
        megabytes: 300
        failures: 10
      weekly:
        files: 150
        megabytes: 1500
        failures: 30
  user_defined:
    my_buddies:
      limits:
        queued:
          files: 1000 # override global default
      members:
