New column showing time left to seed until ratio = 1
I'd like to suggest an additional column for the completed torrents pane. It should display the time that the torrent should continue to upload data until the share ratio for that torrent is equal to 1. So in a sense it would be completely analogous to the ETA column in the downloading torrents pane. This would be very helpful in the situation that the data files have to be moved to a different drive, such as an external hard drive. It is a well-known fact that external hard drives should never be used for seeding/downloading tasks, as this will significantly reduce their lifespan. And as internal drives are often of rather limited size, in order to free up space for new downloads on the internal drive, the downloaded data files will have to be moved elsewhere rather sooner than later. So such a column would really be helpful in informing the user about the time left before the data files can be moved and the torrent file removed from the library. In the current situation I have to use a pocket calculator for each torrent to arrive at such an estimate. This could be done much easier by adding such a column to the completed torrents pane.

I like this idea. It could be even better though if it were more generalised and gave the ETA until the torrent matches any "Ignore rule" that will stop it. In some cases this time won't be estimated because it is simply a counter. In other cases it will be an estimated time until the torrent reaches a target share/seed ratio.
Whilst it looks like you use a target share/seed ratio of 1:1, others might use different ones.
