dlf Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Would anyone here want (if you can't already do it) that when one download is done (even if it's of the same torrent) another one starts downloading? Pic:See the first download of FullMetal? Say after that is done downloading episode two starts, then 3, etc. Could also be other torrents like after Episode one of FMA is done another file of another torrent (like a episode of Quantum leap Season 3) starts downloading. If you can already do this, how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
True Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 Torrenting originally started as "you want this torrent, you get it all in random order, without excluding files." Clients started adding file selection functionality (including uTorrent), which is generally detrimental to all but healthy torrents.Anyway, I don't believe any automatic sequential order on individual files within a torrent can be completed yet, and hopefully never can be in uTorrent. It may be an inconvenience to the user, but it is one inconvenience that keeps torrents alive.Individual episode seeding should be up to the torrentor to create individual torrents. If you only want X files from it, then go ahead and do it if the torrent is healthy...just watch them when it's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I completely agree with True. The fact you send and recieve random parts means more of them are getting passed around in the swarm. If everybody started getting from the first piece to the last, it would be much slower since people would have the SAME parts and would have to depend on seeders to send the next piece, Which kinda kills the entire effect of peer sharing.
