Please provide the following information

qBittorrent version and Operating System

Any version/OS

If on linux, libtorrent and Qt version

N/A

What is the problem

The 3 combo boxes under the torrent queuing section allow -1 to be inputted as a value. In this case, it means "unlimited"/"no limit", but that isn't explained.

What is the expected behavior

Other combo boxes have the "explanation" of the value in parentheses. An example is the disk cache size combo box (which, by the way, should be renamed to "Disk cache size"), which accepts "-1" as "auto":

Steps to reproduce

Open qBittorrent, open preferences, go to the BitTorrent section, set torrent queuing-related combo boxes to "-1".
Open qBittorrent, open preferences, go to the Advanced section, set disk cache combo box to "-1".
