How does an 'Automatic' mode in Speed Limit functions?

Unlimited
Manual
Automatic

are three modes. What exactly is the function of the last one?

Also... i need flashget to stop downloading when I start surfing, and begin automatically downloading as soon as I stop my tasks. Is it possible?

ps - I am not talking about Manual Mode. I am already using it.

Thats what automatic function do...but is not possible to stop downloading..
u can always put a limit on the download limit so that u can surf easily.

it decrease the bandwidth usage by flashget so tht u can surf...
it auto adjust the bandwidth..

When i start surfing while FG is on automatic mode, it stops downloading and surfing is possible. But after stopping the surfing, it doesn't restart downloading by its own. I have to select the Unlimited or Manual Modes for download to start.

I want this to be automatic.

Can anybody suggest an alternate download manager option which :-

1) stops downloads automatically when one is surfing

2) starts downloads automatically when system is idle for some specific duration?

Thank You
