gino_j Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 There's a feature in BitComet that let's you, while the torrent is downloading, select and deselect which files you want to be downloaded by right-clicking and selecting "Properties". A way to do that in uTorrent would make this program far beyond any other (right now it's just beyond ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 There's already a dialog to do this when you add the torrent, and you can still choose not to download files later. Go to the files tab and set the file(s) to "do not download". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino_j Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Yes, when you first start the torrent the dialog is available, but if I want to add files I have to remove the torrent, re-open and hash-check. With the other thing you said, there is only a way to stop downloading, not to start downloading.i.e. My computer had only 2GB of free space, and I'm downloading an entire series, 5 seasons long. I first selected only 5 episodes of the first season, and that nearly filled my computer, but since I have freed up some space now with other files finishing and transferring them to my external hard drive, I have enough space to download more but to have to remove the torrent, re-open, etc., is a pain in the butt.

Firon Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 if you want to start downloading the file again, set any priority except "don't download" and they will be downloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gino_j Posted March 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Ah, well then Firon, thank you very much. Maybe a suggestion to make that fact more obvious then? Either way, much gratitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
