1/4) ["Remove user from queue" and re uploads] You are half-
misinterpreting what the option does. The menu option will remove the
user from all files in the queue where the user may be a source. I.e.,
it does not only work for that particular file, but for Everything in
the queue. The option itself is a generic user menu option (i.e., you
get it when you right click a user in any window), and isn't
consequently revolving around downloads or uploads. You might argue that
the option itself should be revised (e.g., removing it if the user is
not a source for any file), but for now, my argument would be that it is
as designed and the downloads/uploads distinction does not matter.

I have no immediate opinion on rephrasing the menu option, apart from
potentially making it too long. Perhaps "Remove user as source for all
queued files"?

Title:
  Review items in Transfer view right-click menu

Status in DC++:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The bottom transfer view has a few confusing items which are not clear
  for the end-user what they do. So I recommend a few change in the
  right-click menu. The ones I can think of follow here:

  ** "Remove user from queue": Most users think this item is for removing the file from the Download Queue which is actually not true. Renaming this item to something like "Do not download this file from this user" or "Remove this user from this file's sources" would help
  ** Since now it's not possible to remove a file from the queue, a new item should be added for the items currently under download with a title like "Do not download this file" or "Remove this file from Queue" or something similar.
  ** "Force attempt" should be greyed out for connected items, and should not shown for uploads.
  ** Also, I think there's no point of supplying a "Remove user from queue" item for uploads.
