Because someone hit the "STOP" button and that shoud mean: please don't go ahead running the 100 QRunnable object that are waiting in the pool.
Take this example. I have a list with 100 urls. I iterate the list and with with urllib2 I read data for every single url. setMaxThreadCount=4 so there are 4 running threads and all the other element are waiting in the pool. I want to stop the execution of all these "waiting" thread (and if it's possible also the 4 running!)
Thank you
