Is there a way I can choose what individual files to download within a .torrent?
- by Valamas
Is there a way to get the list of files under the files tab without the download starting? Sometimes I am after a single file within a torrent, however, to see the list, I need to start downloading.
I then select the only file I want to download, but the other files which started to download and were stopped still will appear on the completed side even if 1k/600k of that file has downloaded. You can imagine the mess and confusion this can cause.
So, is there a way I can instruct my BitTorrent/uTorrent program to just grab the file list?
Solution:
You must download the .torrent file. This contains the list of files. If you download using a magnet link, you do not get the list of files until the torrent starts.
