uGet will become a upload manager?

I try to support bt and metalink (by aria2 plug-in) and the newest code in Git can download bt/metalink from URL.

But now I found some problem now. There is no upload-related column/category/data that bt needs in current uGet. When you download a torrent completed (progress 100%), the job will stay in “active” category because it is uploading. This goes beyond my plans.
