Sounds kinda similar to this post.

I would quite like a feature where by you could insert a pause into the queue so i could for example say i wanted 4 files done in the queue and then it would pause automatically and not do the rest until the schedule overrides it.

would that be possible?  have i explained it?

This is something that is possible, however where, and how to display it in the queue is something I can't decide on yet. I don't want to clutter the queue up with too many options, as there is quite a lot added already for 0.4.

In the mean time, what you could do is create a script for 0.4(when out) that pauses the queue, so it is selectable in the drop down menu of scripts to be fired after the last queue item you want downloaded has finished.

If and when this is done, it will likely be in later 0.4 or 0.5 release.

Been wanting this for a long time but they told me to use the scheduelling or QoS instead

i hope someone can do it as i'm not really a coder or have the skills for that sort of thing!

you don't need to be a coder   it's a one liner to pause the queue -

wget -q http://192.168.0.3:8080/sabnzbd/api?mode=pause

you just need to download the free windows wget
