Sorry I missed these posts as I was on vacation for a week. I’m actually not sure on your last question as I have never stopped a download in pyload before. I will try now and report back
For me the download won’t stop when I press the stop button. It’s either a bug on my side or their side. Will have to look into this further
how contact with pyload??
After some googling this appears to be normal operation
From my experience with the pyLoad the functions do following:
stop - Prevents starting new downloads but active downloads (even those in state waiting) continue.
Originally I was surprised by the behaviour but now I like it. Just for the waiting downloads I would prefer that they move back to online state.
cancel - Cancels the active downloads and marks them as cancelled as if you are not going to finish them.
