Partial Torrent Values

Recommended Posts

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.

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....
