Size of download not readjusting to files selected properly

Post by noian »

Okay, so a torrent I want is larger than the free space I have on my disk, so I made the download setting to select all > don't download, and set it to download only one of the files (~100 mb), except deluge won't start it, because it keeps saying I don't have enough disk space even though I specifically set it to download only 100 mb which I have more than enough space for....any workarounds? It doesn't happen always because I have another large torrent which did readjust and start so I don't know if I did something wrong..... I really don't want to download the entire torrent.....only need one video file to take a screenshot from for flyer's I'm making for my high school's anime club (that's being re-founded).

EDIT: restarted the torrent (after deleting it) and manually selected each to don't download, now the torrent size DOES decrease with each click, but when it reaches my disk space amount, it jumps BACK to the full torrent download size, which obviously isn't right (even though in reality it isn't downloading the full size)
Needs to be fixed.

If that's true than its a regression and the devs should look at it, any news if it was fixed in 0.5.9.1? Can't tell upon upgrading.
Really annoying
I found you can counter it by selecting the priority to highest, and simply stopping it when the file you want is finished, but still, annoying how it ignores don't download and that you're forced to download more than you want/can store......

Anyone notice the font looks slightly different in the new version or is it just me? (might be me)
