rafi Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Yes' date=' there is. Start downloading and the files will show up in a few seconds. Then select what you like. I guess the devs are trying to improve on that ...[/quote']Yay , it worked . but if the torrent started i can't select a specific thing , it will download the whole torrentor is there a way to select things while you're already downloading?Sure you can... in the files tab - on any unwanted files select->right-click->don't download ... and you are done. It is not "clean" enough for my taste, since during those few seconds, even 0% files might be allocated. So, there sure is a need for improvement, to be able to pre-select them also for magnets. Your best bet - try to not use magnets... only .torrent files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzi1 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Can this thread please be stickied? On a second note, is it possible to "undo" a "Don't download"?Example: I add a torrent which contains several files. Sometimes I don't want to download some of those files. I select the unwanted files, right-click and click on "Don't download". But how can I get a file to download if I accidentially set it to "Don't download"?

DreadWingKnight Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Set a priority that isn't "Don't download" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 All this talk, just shows you (me...) how bad and confusing this menu is. To download or not to download - should use similar phrases like simply - "download". "Priority" is a bad choice in this main menu. Should have been something clear like download->low/high/medium-priority in the sub-menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uzi1 Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Set a priority that isn't "Don't download"Thanks, works like a charm.But I have to agree with rafi - the logic behind this is not really logical. Something like "toggle download" or similar or just a context menu which switches between "Don't download" and "Download" according to the status (priority, sorry) of the file might be a better choice IMHO or just integrate it into the Priority sub-menu (high/ medium/ low/ skip).

AdamK Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 You are right. Some of the wording in utorrent isn't very clear (mind you, some of the concepts are quite complex - but I don't think that is the case here).Please suggest a few different wordings, and I'll try to come up with something better, as well.

Firon Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 move 'don't download' out of the priority submenu, have it toggle between 'download' and 'don't download'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 New 3.2 up with some fixes. One issue with shutting down has been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryrynz Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 As far as the downloading of individual files go, I vote to remove the 'Don't download' option from the context menu and instead replace it with check boxes down the left hand side of the 'Files' tab. This makes it consistent with the 'add new torrent' window and makes it easier to select the files you don't want to download.Less clicks, consistent interface, win win IMO.

No sub-menu is required. Actually - very similar to what we had in 2.0 and before, plus the indicator. VAnybody cares to vote on it?... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raises Hand!IFarAnother hand from me.After giving it some thought the toggling of the menu between "Don't download" and "Download" according to the state of the selected file will be a major PITA when two files or more with different priorities are selected. It'll be the same as it is with the labels atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing they can do is - show the selection if *all* the selected files have similar "priority" and not show it at all - if at least two are different. Or.. maybe - show multiple grayed bullets for all the states in the selected files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clicking on the one priority you want to set for all selected files chooses it. Or, if you don't want to change mixed files, the gray bullets will make you notice that the selection might be wrong. I want a system like that for labels, too (with a switch to allow only one label per torrent). :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swampy Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I think there is a major problem in 3.1+ with file system access - ever since 3.1 my files have started screwing up - there's the permanant "Moving..." issue. But more worryingly a hdd of mine has bad sector and utorrent seems to bypass windows filesystem and writes out to this bad sector over and over. I stop everything, do a scan/repair disk, then restart things again and one of the next torrents ends up being re-written out to this sector again (so i then have to repeat the process again.)Are you doing something funky with the flush to disk stuff (bypassing any filesystem checks?)??I should say that i've not experienced this problem with 3.2 yet - but i am litterally just about to update to it in the hope that the problem has been fixed (If not, i think i'll have to go back to the last stable prior to 3.1 !)

The MAZZTer Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Both 3.1.3 and the latest 3.2 beta have a serious issue... if you have any torrents running with tracker urls associated with them the tracker urls become corrupted (you can see it in the trackers tab) and pretty soon the whole thing crashes.I suspect it malformed the particular torrent files at some point, maybe, since new torrents I add don't seem to have any problems... anyways it may help if uTorrent is more tolerant of malformed torrent files or at least it should be able to detect them?

rafi Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 the tracker urls become corrupted...I suspect it malformed the particular torrent filesA screenshot + the torrent file itself would be nice.
