GrandWazoo Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 I have noticed that in larger with lots of files, it doesn't really matter which files I tell utorrent to download as utorrent will tell whichever files it wants to download. I exaggerate a bit, but when there are tons of files in a download, at least 5 or 6 of the files I select "Don't Download" on will download, and usually faster than the files I actually want. Recently, I wanted one album off of a discography torrent. I selected that I only wanted to download that one album, skipping all other songs, yet when I look at the torrent half an hour later, some of the other albums had songs 100% downloaded, even though it says "skip" next to that file. At the same time, there were still some songs in the album I wanted that weren't finished downloading. Can anyone explain to me why my selecting of "Don't Download" is more of a suggestion than a command? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 7, 2012 Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 Probably cross-file pieces. thing you can do about it because you need the overlapping pieces to validate the pieces that contain the files you do want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
