Closing the tab will stop the download. That means it disconnects from all peers and shuts down the torrent client entirely (if there are no other torrents active). Our thinking in leaving out a download button was to treat torrents no different than other content that the browser can render, like PDFs, images, and video files. For example, to stop an HTTP video file from downloading, you just close the tab. The only difference with torrents is that we get upfront user consent before starting the download in the first place. Can folks with design/UX experience take a look at this and suggest improvements? cc @dcposch |
