GreatS Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 I hope this is the right forum to place this question on, well the problem is that I do not know how to delete a file in a torrent, without deleting the rest. The reason why I want to do this is that the torrent exists of ~20 short "movies", which I always downloaded in pairs of approximately 5, because the total would be FAR TOOOOO LARGE (sometimes lots of dvd's) and I don't have enough free space anymore. In Azureus (the previous Torrent program I used) I would right click on the "sub"-file and select remove, but there is no such option in µTorrent.PS. Can't simply delete the file neither, as µTorrent then gives a read error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Just skip the file in the Files tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatS Posted June 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 That will not delete it after I watched it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Stop the torrent, delete the files and force a recheck then. You're gonna have to download a few of the boundary pieces though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatS Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 So I was right uTorrent itself has no function for it ;-( ;-( ;-(, I guess I will switch back to azureus then ;-( ;-( (And I loved the webUI soooo much...)Edit: Actually I am not sure whether I will switch back, after I missed 2 great functions after starting azureus... ;( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 What??? Dude, you're... way too quick to judge. Learn to use the program first.This is not hard at all, nor is it hidden, difficult to find, or otherwise.I'll let the images (or their filenames at least) do the talking...If you want to delete them after downloading, just do the same, Don't Download, delete the files you marked, then re-check the torrent to have uTorrent find the missing end pieces. ALL TORRENT CLIENTS MUST DOWNLOAD THE END PIECES TO COMPLETE THE TORRENT. BitTorrent isn't file-based, it's piece-based, so one piece may contain a hundred files, or one file may span hundreds of pieces. When you exclude a file, it has to still retain a piece that also contains part of a file you are downloading, which includes part of a file you didn't. This isn't any sort of inconvenience at all, nor is it uTorrent specific. Pieces are only up to 4mb in size anyway.Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatS Posted June 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2007 Guess I am making some really STUPID mistake then, well I thought that "force a recheck" means the same as a force start... So what I made of it was the following:Stop the torrentSet utorrent to "skip" the filesDelete the filesClick force startPS. Sorry for my bad EnglishEdit: I assume that all of you now are irritated about me the same way as I am sometimes when I help "newbies" in my "profession"(Programming).
