Quota Management with "Free Weekends"

Post by Posterchild66 »

Hello,

I live in a godforsaken place with quotas, and although they are getting better it still sucks. I look forward to the quota management features in the beta. I have been loving sabnzbd for a little while.

Anyhoo, my ISP recently introduced "Unlimited Weekends", for which I take full advantage of! I live in an Islamic country (Bahrain), so those days are FRI/SAT for me. Would it be possible to introduce features that would support this into the beta? The intent would be to not tally certain day's against your "quota".

I can imagine the "free weekends" feature is used in many other places than here.

Anyway, something to think about.

/Cheers, JP

I made a note of your request and may add an event type to the scheduler
in a later release.

If you're any good with scripts, you can do a few API calls
turning quota on and off.

@shypike: does http://wiki.sabnzbd.org/api describe how to turn quota on/off via API calls?

@Posterchild66 On which OS are you?
