Suggestion

Add a filter that displays only the torrents with actual active traffic (download or upload). The bandwidth threshold could be configured eventually.

Use case

Provide a quick way to see what torrents are really "Active"

I haven't checked if isActive() is used in any core stuff (and can't be changed because of it). If it is, i would add another method that's intended only for GUI and use that instead for the Active filter. We can't have torrents be considered active solely based on their state e.g. with "Forced" states.

Yes, I have added another method isActiveWTraffic() to keep this logic isolated, see the commit I linked above. I don't have much time to make proper changes and clean commits, so I make changes to my 'experimental' branch and build for me. But someone can take the commit and make it clean to be merged in master
