Skipped files downloaded

That is not happening for me using 3.5.0.43784 beta.

Example:

Torrent contains 38 files.

Deselect all but one.

File start downloading. Priority "normal". Others "skip".

Right-click on downloading torrent>Pause.

Click Start icon. Just the selected file downloads. All others are still "skip" priority and don't download.

What is the priority of files which shouldn't be downloading?

It happens only when you  pause a torrent and exit and start utorrent it starts downloading skipped files .This bug has been reported earlier also

For me, even after pausing the torrent, exiting uTorrent then launching uTorrent:

I note that the torrent remains Paused.

Clicking on the Start icon, only the selected files continue to download.

The rest of the files have skip priority and do not download. I tested using a 1GB torrent with 59 files.

Using 3.5.0.43804 this time.

After saying that, you previously said on May 11, "Running as administrator solved the problem".

Hmmm, now this is bizarre. What I previously said appears to now not work. A single file DID download after starting the paused torrent.

But I was just about to upload my settings when I tested again just to make sure it would work as I had said.

No matter what, the files showing "skip" priority are downloading now i.e. the whole torrent. (Only when you Stop then Start torrent, the single file downloads on it own as it should).

I must've had 2 glitches. Strange...

I have seen this happen in two instances with torrents that the user has selected parts of:

1. If uTorrent is exited while torrents are paused, upon restarting uTorrent and resuming the torrents, all memory of which parts were selected is lost.

2. If the location of .torrent files is changed and the user moves .torrent files to the new location in the mistaken belief that uTorrent will look there for the .torrent files associated with existing torrents, uTorrent won't find them there even if "force recheck" is performed. Even if the .torrent file is restored to the correct location and uTorrent restarted, all memory of the selected files is lost.

I believe that problems like this after a crash or a user moving files without understanding the details of uTorrent are a major reason that most torrent lifetimes are measured in weeks. Any effort to make uTorrent more resilient to such events will be greatly appreciated by the user community.
