How To Select Certain Files From A MAGNET LINK To Download!01 July 2012, 09:43 (10 months ago)
As some of you have noticed a magnet provides no option when the Box appears for Downloading.
This is a quick and easy tutorial explaining how to de-select what you don't need in the torrent download (utorrent) other clients i don't know.. maybe you do! leave a comment... . Firstly let's get the million dollar question out of the way - Where is this magnet Link The picture below more or less explains it (it's circled and it's what you click) . . Some of you are worried about this empty looking box that appears after you click the magnet (That's normal just click O.K.) . . Now you'll see in utorrent the name of the download and you select the 'Files' tab But you see nothing! that's normal as well because with magnets it takes a little time to get going -- also i might add sometimes the download name may appear different but that will change to the download name once it gets going - thought i'd mention that as well since i've seen a few people stress and ask. . . Now the next picture will show you when a list appears in the 'Files' section of the torrent and read carefully As soon as the list appears you click 'Stop' on the torrent download (Right click - Stop) . . Once you have clicked stop go down to the list and as you can see i have Right Clicked on the first file name and you will see 'Don't Download' it's this you click and you can go through the files list and right click and don't download whatever you choose . . Now the next picture shows what it says after you click 'don't download' basically a checker for your piece of mind really (it's not a seperate box it's further to the right in your utorrent) . . Now go to the download where you clicked 'Stop' and right click 'Start' ~~ How easy is that! 10 replies before

~ your welcome paulie..
. And you can select multiple files using the shift or cntrl key in order to NOT download them. It is also possible to give them a higher download priority. You could i suppose but for the non techy type like myself where keyboard keys don't ever come into it.. deffo not one for that and never will be... :) Know what you mean mate, so longs the download gets to Utorrent, and I see the end result thats all that counts, lol
Can you do this with Vuze?
Yup just uncheck the files you don't want....figured it out omo

From user point of view .torrent files are often better. Using magnet links you still download .torrent file but from other users not a server. That's why it takes more time to see what files are there. Magnets reduce bandwidth usage of torrent site. It's easier to exchange a line of text than a file. For example I could paste magnet to this post and you'll be able to download the content.
Oh, okay and wow, i understood your explaination ;)
Thanks Noname72 |
