priority - not sticking

I'm running 1.2.1 built from source on an Ubuntu headless server. When I use the web UI to set a file to "do not download" or a different priority within seconds it flips back to "normal priority." Only tried this on the one torrent, so far.

Hi.
Okay, I switched on remote access for the daemon, secured it with a password and then installed the Windows 1.2.1. installation on my laptop and used to this to connect to the daemon. Now through the GTK+ interface when I right click on a file within the torrent all the options bar "Expand All" are greyed out.
Why's that?

For the priority problem...which allocation are you using? You need full allocation in order to use the priorities feature

Okay, that explains it, but that causes me a problem.
The torrent I'm downloading is bigger than the remaining harddisk space, so I want to set some of the files to not download, and then once the rest is downloaded, move it off and set them to not download so that I can get the files I originally didn't download.
Not possible?

Yeah, should work alright, as long as your file system supports sparse files.

Okay, that seems to work. I thought full allocation would mean that it would create files of the full size at the outset. Apparently not.
Thanks.
