Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 If it has a sample file, you can skip all the other files. If it's one big file, then unfortunately, you can't. You can just let it download a bit, stop the torrent, and try to view the pieces you got in a player like Media Player Classic or VLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Select the torrent, click on Files, press Ctrl A, then Ctrl Click on the sample file to de-select it. Then right click and choose "Don't download" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splintax Posted January 3, 2006 Report Share Posted January 3, 2006 The rules? S'pose some torrent sites have rules against doing this, but not many. And it's stupid If you meant our µT forums rule of "read the FAQ first", this is what you're looking for:http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Does_.C2.B5Torrent_allow_selective_file_downloading.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
