Alpha-Toxic Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 This has been brought quite a few times, but I think I've come up with an idea that will satisfy everybody. Why not making the partfiles "hidden" by default (or at least add an option)?pros:-people will stop complaining about partfiles in there dl dirs-the partfile is still there, µTorrent doesn't care if it's hidden or not-easy to implement (I suppose)-µTorrent continues to play by the rules and upload everything that it has downloaded (unlike BC)I hope this idea helps in some way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 U can never satisfy everybody. There will still be the people who hate the partfile, and set windows to show hidden files and wont want to change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vectorferret Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Bad feature. This is going to leave a file in a directory that the user might not even know about after they are done seeding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted February 6, 2006 Report Share Posted February 6, 2006 Pardon the blunt end of my idiot stick, but what kind of moron complains about a file that saves... well, all sorts of misery?? The part file keeps µTorrent from having to create partial files (that you requested not to download) to place the remaining piece in.It would be much more of an inconvenience to have do-not-download files partially downloaded in the torrent folder. What's so intrusive about a part file?Someone (that is, the next/first person to complain about a part file) needs to be whacked with my idiot stick.
