Transmission Assistance

Is there a way to select what you want to download in a torrent on Transmission?

I know on Azureus, you can choose to download those or not download that. I have torrents that I only want to download 1 file.

So, is there a way? Is that possible in the newest update? (I'm still on 7.2.)

the latest version, yes.

click your torrent, press cmd + i (or right/ctrl click + get info), and choose Files. from there you can right/ctrl click and choose priority of each.

ensure you've finished existing torrents before you upgrade, however, or it will screw everything up.

Oh snap. Thanks. This makes me want to use Transmission moar.


BTW, is there anyway to re-add those lost torrents after updating?

if you've got the original .torrent files, yes, and keep the incomplete files in the same location. there shouldn't be an issue but i can't guarantee it - just finish teh existing ones first.
