Fuzzlet Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I'll start this off with in example. Lets say you have a torrent of a whole series of something (usually a TV show, etc), but you already have say, 1-13 of a 26 part deal. Currently you can set the first 13 to not download with uTorrent, but after doing this, it still shows the full torrent size, and percentage downloded in relation to the entire series. Even though 100% may not be the entire torrent, as the other 13 parts are not needed.BitComet does this by making the size column say something like WantedSize(Fullsize), so if the original torrent was 10GB, and you only wanted 5GB, it would say 5GB(10GB). Something similar for the percentage could be done, or just one percentage value, but in relation to what parts are still set for download.Something like this would be greatly appreciated, as it seems often I'm taking a mental guess as to how far a download is actually complete, rather then getting a simple value.Also, ETA should be relation to wanted parts, not entire torrent.

chaosblade Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I think thats already planned. Also one should note that when you complete all of those selected files, the % columns shows 99.9 instead of 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcusg Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Yep, just like in BitComet whereby the Size culumn displays ---> Selected(Total.Amount) e.g. 4.43gb(10.3gb)Version 1.2 is out but feature ain't init yet...Fingers' crossed...

DutchDude Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Hmmmm... i simply resume downloading in the same dir. So that if lets say 15 GB of a 100 GB torrent was allready downloaded this was detected by the filecheck (hashckeck) of uT, and it would say 15% complete (allthough the check first runs upto 100% cause it has to check the whole .torrent to the data allready present) and start downloading from there. Even partially complete files are continued this way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
