I'm little fed up with this test-scenario right now honestly lol, but probably tomorow I will test in a VM your exact release(s) to confirm my findings, or yours :) I understand this could be something not obvious and not that major (because otherwise it would've been reported by now I think). Than...

Sadly, I have nothing significant to report at the moment. Web UI still behaves inconsistently with or without first/last pieces priority, deluge-console is fine. What I have remembered about previous working setup I reported: it was an upgrade from 1.3.5, so maybe I had different (and correct) beha...

Last, I started by testing this on my used distro, using libtorrent 2.0.9 and deluge 2.1.1, and could reproduce your exact issue(s), _when_ having "prioritize first and last pieces" enabled, as I see you had from your screenshoot. Disabling that, makes the issues you describe go away here...

Yes, looks like deluge-web is at fault here. I have installed 2.1.2~dev0 back just to be on track. Issue is the same. However! If I select no files in deluge-web at torrent add stage, it still shows full size for all files in 'Size' column and proceeds accordingly. But after setting priorities to 1 ...

We are on 2.1.1 as stable now. I'd recommend you upgrade to the latest stable version at least. This issue hasn't been reported on 2.1.1, and I'm not sure I've seen it reported on your versions, but I'd try to install the latest version. That's what I did the first time: upgraded to 2.1.2~dev0 with...

I have downgraded to 2.0.3-3.1 in debian 12 to rule out machine/fs/setup issues. And it works as expected, downloading only 1 requested file (see screenshot). So this is something that was changed afterwards. I readd torrent file each time I test (just in case). I hope that helps Cas and team to che...

I assume that only a very small amount of these unselected folders ever get downloaded. If so, this has to do with the way pieces in torrents are organized. Your client wants a piece of whichever files you have selected, and the other folders you have not selected are contained within the pieces ne...

I have reached a dead end it seems and in need of help. Deluge 2.0.3-4 (debian 12 bookworm) and 2.1.2~dev0 (debian 13 trixie) on fresh Debian 12 both download files marked as 'Skip' resulting in inability to get only several files from huge torrent packs which I don't have space for. I have read abo...

on windows, how do you edit the files

You can use any plaintext editor.
Personally I prefer Notepad++ for python editing on windows.

Thank you, Cas. Inserting this line right before applying settings helped. Chunk of code for those who might be interested: # Set session settings self.settings.send_redundant_have = True if deluge.common.windows_check(): self.settings.disk_io_write_mode = \ lt.io_buffer_mode_t.disable_os_cache self...
