Mark for download vs download later?

Would it be feasible for a mark for download option? Basically it would queue up the downloads but not initiate them until either a predefined time or until manually started.

when bandwidth is heavily used, this could be a valuable option so you can mark what you want, but not tie up resources. Or, while you're retrieving new headers, same thing.

I realized that this should probably be posted under Development. sorry about that.

It's there

Under tasks, Suspend article tasks marked for later download (F11)

Then just select the articles you want later with "Download and save later"

Or change the current mark for download priority to 1 or 2 (also under Tasks) and click away, hit F11 to release them for download.

(This program is truely amazing = You can even change the download later (and immediate) priorities.
Look under Edit > Properties > Tasks > Article tasks - advanced)

Good Luck
