# 2.2.3 Nicotine+ Settings: Transfers

Transfer settings allows you to configure how uploads are queued and what privileges you give to Buddies

## Upload queue

If Uploads are sends at xx KBytes/sec then other uploads will be queued.

- default is 10

## Limit number upload

This option allows you to choose how many files are uploaded at the same time

- default is unchecked (recommended)

1 user CANNOT download 2 files at the same time. When you limit uploads to 2 what happens is 2 users can download each one file, total of 2 files uploaded. When 3 users are downloading, 2 users can download while the third user has to wait.

## Limit upload speed

allows you to choose at which speed file(s) gets uploaded

- default is unchecked

Unless you have some 10Mbit upload connection, there's no need for touching this option. Default option works fine. The case is that internet upload speeds are always cut down 2/3, if not even more.

## Upload queue type

allows you to choose how you want to upload

- default is Round Robin

## Maximum queue

allows you to set a maximum queue in Megabytes.

- default is 100 Megabytes (equals one album)

when a user downloads 2 albums, 1 album shows up in your upload list while the other doesn't. The user get's to see the following message:
Remote: User limit of xx megabytes exceeded
when a user clicks on a single movie file (700MB) and one album, you see both of file(s) in your upload queue.

## Share friends only

enables only people who're in Buddy list to download your shares.

- default is unchecked

If you're going to use this option, make sure you put this in your User info.

## Privilege all my friends

allows all users in Buddy list to download before everyone else.
Limit number uploads counts for this too.
If some users are downloading, and one Buddy starts downloading, he/she gets to download first. If you have limit uploads to 3 files, 3 users/buddies can download, while the 4th buddy has to wait.

## Lock incoming files

allows you to lock incomplete files, so these cannot be downloaded

- default is checked

If you have the same Incomplete and Download directory, it's a good idea to keep this option checked.

## Allow Buddies to send files

allows users in your Buddy list to send you files

- default is checked

## Show Buttons in Transfers Tab

Shows shortcut buttons in upload/download tab. (see also chapter 5.4)

- default is checked
