eljeffe Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 I have been using a slightly older version of uTorrent. I just downloaded 1.8.1 and I am having trouble figuring out how to download certain files and not others. For example: Let's say that I click download on a torrent file that has 5 avi movie files in it (for example, a full length movie with split screens). Let's say in this instance I only want to download 3 of the 5 avi files in this torrent. With the older version of uTorrent what would happen first is that the the window would come up and I would choose to open the torrent with uTorrent. UTorrent then opens and a window would come up showing me the contents of the torrent. I could then un-check the files that did not want. This way I am not wasting bandwidth (and screwing up my ratio) on files I am just going to trash anyway. How do I get the window to appear asking me which of the files in the torrent I want to download?If this is not possible can I un-install this version and install an older version? What order should I do things in so that in progress torrents are not lost? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnurlos Posted January 4, 2009 Report Share Posted January 4, 2009 You can deselect files at the "Files" tab.Just rightclick and select "Don't download" for one or more files there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljeffe Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 In response to:Settings > UI Settings > check "Show a window that displays the files inside the torrent"I already have that checked! Any explanation? Should "Activate the Program Window" be Unchecked? Does that have anything to do with my issue?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
