Why does my torrent say Queued?

Your plan downloads a set number of torrents at the same time — the downloads at once figure on its plan card in Upgrade. On paid plans a torrent you add past that number isn't refused: it waits as Queued (the hourglass on the Seedbox page) and starts on its own, oldest first, as soon as a running download finishes or you pause or delete one.

• Every started download that hasn't finished holds a slot, even one that has stalled with no peers. If one is never going to finish, delete it so the queue can move.
• Starting a Queued torrent by hand doesn't jump ahead. The queue keeps your oldest unfinished downloads running, so a newer one goes straight back to waiting.
• Want fewer at a time? Lower Max active downloads in Settings → Seedbox.
• On Free there's no queue: at the limit the add is refused, and an upgrade panel tells you so.
