| - | There are two interaction modes. In the default mode the message or input box pops up whenever any of the background transfer needs to interact (but only when the main connection is idle). Alternatively the box may not pop up automatically. Instead the respective line on queue list may visually indicate that the transfer needs interaction. User must double-click the line or choose respective command from queue [[ui_context_menu|context menu]] (or toolbar) to make the box pop up (see [[ui_queue#manage|Managing the Queue]]). To switch to alternative mode uncheck //[[ui_pref_background#background_transfers|Automatically popup prompts of background transfers when idle]]// on //Background page// of Preferences dialog. | + | There are two interaction modes.
