InterClaw Posted April 2, 2011 Report Posted April 2, 2011 Okay, so imagine you're downloading a bunch of files and you want to prioritize some of them (like a sample, or the first few part in a series of archives). The file(s) all but finishes, but there's one or two remaining pieces that your client have asked of some super slow peer, which refuse to get downloaded...Sound familiar?It's kind of frustrating that your prioritizing is counter-productive and sometimes you're stuck waiting for everything else to finish downloading until faster peers save the day by "taking over" for extremely slow peers.In this case I would like uTorrent to detect that there are prioritized files not being downloaded because of slow peers and instead switch to a much faster peer (currently being used for downloading a less prioritized file). So basically technically what should happen is that requests for prioritized files should expire faster and different peers should be used to a higher extent. Something like that.Alternatively, it would be nice if there is some manual way of switching peer(s) for a certain file/piece.(I don't know if this is supposed to be happening already, but I'm constantly getting this problem and I'm running the default settings for these sort of things.)EDIT: Sure, a workaround could be to set all other files to "don't download" to force fast peers to be used on the prioritized files, but that's a hassle. You shouldn't have to manually prioritize your files that way.
