Downloading Select Files Within A Torrent

[TheRed]

If you only download a certain file within a torrent, and it finished, utorrent still thinks the torrent is downloading. if the piece is finished and all other files are not set to be downloaded, the torrent should change to seeding (Azureus does it this way)...

[vurlix]

Seeding means you have all files in the torrent on your system. What Azureus does is not necesarilly a good thing.

Basically all torrent programs operate this way. You have no files actually downloading because they have been skipped, therefore it should display as seeding (or maybe a different status).

Maybe it shouldn't show it as seeding - but it should show your section as being 100% downloaded...and not still downloading.

I posted more details here:

Then it reports you as a seeder to the tracker, which is not the case since you don't have the whole torrent. The way it's currently done seems the most logical implementiation.

Like I said - only display it to the user as being completed. Like have it like this:

49%(100%). But, apparently its fixed in 1.1.4

eisa01: You ARE a seeder, for certain blockschunks. In which case, you can infact send those when requested by another peer.

[vurlix]

Seeds, by definition, are peers which have ALL the pieces in the torrent. You don't need to be a seed to send the pieces you already have to other peers.

I stand corrected

I don't care if it shows seeding or not, but what I dislike is the fact, that this download is not moved to my "complete" folder.

I often uncheck several files and when the download is done (without the files) this download is as complete I want it to be.

I use the option, to move my complete downloads to a specified folder, so I want it to be moved to this folder after I've downloaded the files I want and not if it's 100%.

I think thats dependent on the percantage complete column, which is fixed in v1.1.4 to actually show it based on the files you've selectedskipped. Maybe this will be sorted aswell.
