BT version allowing you to choose one file out of a pack?

Post by Hamel »

If I'm downloading a torrent with 12 .avis and I only want one out of all of them, which version of BT do I need?

apparently G3 torrent has this ability, but i haven't used it much myself so i'm not very familiar with its interface.

BitTornado can do that. The site seems to be down right now though.

Azureus can do it, too. Double-click the torrent in question to bring up its tab, then click the Files subtab. Right-click on each file you don't want, mouse over "Set Priority" and click "Do not download". This works especially well if you have incremental file creation enabled. That way, it doesn't allocate the space for the files you don't want.

Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

Azureus. I second the suggestion, I switched over to it, haven't even considered anything else since.
