ultrawires Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 In a torrent with multiple files, I select to download only one file. The one file is 170Mb while the full "torrent" is 5.1Gb.The uTorrent displays "Size" as 5.1Gb and I think the "Done" percentage is based on the 5.1GbIs all 5.1Gb being downloaded and "discarded" leaving only the 170Mb file I checked? Or hopefully, its only downloading 170Mb not the rest are not piped through.Thanks.PS: I'm now in a country where the "mainstream" internet service plans are capped with monthly download/upload limits That's for migrating from a newly developed country to a developed country...sheesh!

Firon Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Size always shows the full size, not the selected size.Done is based off selected size. Only the 170mb (plus a bit more, due to shared pieces) is being downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Well, in 1.8, there was a new column added for your case to decrease the apparent discrepancy... guess what it's called If you have quota constraints now you should look at turning off all unnecessary features and lowering net.max_halfopen and # of connected peers/active torrents.

torrero Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Well, i got rid of the "size" column completely and only use the "remaining" column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
