Sequential downloading w/ Azureus

Name: Anonymous 2006-06-24 10:07

Is there a way to queue individual files in the same torrent, ideally with Azureus?

I have a torrent with 20 files in it, and I want it to download the files sequentially.  As in: download file 1, then seed file 1 while downloading file 2, then seed files 1 and 2 while downloading 3, etc. 

The only real way to do this that I can see is to set all files to "do not download" except for each file in sequence starting from 1, but that requires sitting and watching the thing download all day.  Maybe I missed something since I just got this program...

Oh and I know that Azureus can queue torrents but it will not place the same torrent in a queue more than once.

You don't understand the concept of bittorrent, do you? All this will do is destroy your download speeds.

Bitcomet has priorities within the files in a torrent that you can set. Just set the one you want to very high and when it finishes do the same with the next one.

uTorrent does this too. I bet Azureus may as well. Try that, as I think it is more along the lines of what you want to do, rather than ACTUALLY get them sequentially, which sort of defeats the purpose of using bittorrent.

>>3 incorrect. What >>1 wants is to change the priority in order... when I torrent anime, I set the first ep as high priority, then when that's finished, the next one... what >>1 wants is something to do that. This won't destroy download speeds because if there are no seeds/peers with that piece, the client will simply download another file - thus, you keep full download speed while getting the files you want fastest.

Oh yeah, and azureus (to the best of my knowledge) doesn't do this.

Don't change these.
