Deluge
The client is not skipping the downloading of certain files that I've unchecked, like it's supposed to. For example, if a torrent has 5 files in it, and I only wants files 1-3 (not 4 or 5), it still downloads files 4 and 5 regardless of what I have checked or unchecked. A very few times it's PARTIALLY downloaded files 4 and 5, leaving them corrupted or incomplete (unusable).
I'm using client version 1.3.0 on Windows 7 64-bit Ultimate Edition.
Not skipping files as it's being told to
Re: Not skipping files as it's being told to
How big are these files and how big is the piece size? If the piece size is bigger than the files then you're experiencing this: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/Faq# ... todownload
Re: Not skipping files as it's being told to
Yeah, the files are smaller than the piece size. For example, the piece size may be set to 4 megabytes each, and one of the files I want it to skip is a 256 kilobyte image file. I understand the logic behind what you said, however I've used almost all other BitTorrent clients and I have never seen any one of them have this issue.
Re: Not skipping files as it's being told to
Unfortunately it's a limitation of the BitTorrent protocol which means all clients have the same problem.
The reason you haven't noticed it until now is that other clients save the partially downloaded files to a separate folder (which are then deleted when you remove the torrent).

Okay, so, is that something you've accounted for in Deluge and made an option for so I can make it behave like the rest of the BitTorrent clients? If not, is that something that could be put into the future releases?
Also, I noticed that when you create a torrent in Deluge there isn't an option to have the client auto-detect the piece size based on the size of the files going into the torrent. It leaves too much to chance and could lead to users picking an option for piece sizes that are too large/small.

Unfortunately Deluge doesn't have an option to hide the incomplete files but it could be added in the future.SyKoTiK wrote:Okay, so, is that something you've accounted for in Deluge and made an option for so I can make it behave like the rest of the BitTorrent clients?

Deluge by default auto selects the appropriate piece size when creating a torrent (it does so by just selecting the piece size it thinks is appropriate, there's no actual "autodetect" option per se).SyKoTiK wrote:Also, I noticed that when you create a torrent in Deluge there isn't an option to have the client auto-detect the piece size based on the size of the files going into the torrent.

Re: Not skipping files as it's being told to
Okay. Thanks for answering my questions and clearing that all up for me. Hopefully my other topic, regarding 4 feature suggestions, gets considered for the next version.
