Guest mule Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 "Toggle Torrent View" button in the main window (far right of the toolbar, second from the right).None of the features claimed to be removed have actually been removed.i disagree. The ability to select/deselect certain files for download before downloading has been removed. Checking the box under pref >ui> display files before downloading does not do anything.the only way to deselect certain files is to quickly go under files in the bottom frame, right click files, and select don't download.That's pretty gay. That was one of the best features of bittorrent. The ability to select one song out of a thousand to download, etc..Looking for a new app...

A small pop up appeared, something about saving to a specific directory. if you click the down arrow (advanced options) the old check boxes for the torrent files appear.good luck.

Guest Ken Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I don't see an option for UI under Preferences. The only choices in Bittorrent > Preferences are: General Downloads Bandwidth Bittorrent and Network. I am on a Mac if it makes any difference.

Guest Ken Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sorry, found it via Google search. Anyways, would you happen to know if the Mac version supports viewing/choosing individual files prior to downloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Feit Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest OZZY Posted October 14, 2011 Report Share Posted October 14, 2011 Sorry for the blank post. Check the box under pref >ui> display files before downloading. After you have done that, click on the desired torrent and a small window will pop up that shows you the directory in which the torrent is being downloaded. (labelled Save as)There you will see a a button with two arrows pointing downwards, clicking on that will show you all the files in the selected torrent.

Guest Guest who found a way! Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 I believe I've found a way to actually make this work.BitTorrent 7.5. Open up "Options -> Preferences" and click on the "Advanced" tree. The second line should show the following "bt.auto_dl_enable" and "true". Click on the line and change the value to "false" and you're all ready to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dustin Posted October 18, 2011 Report Share Posted October 18, 2011 "Guest who found a way" is correct and that does fix the issue! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jaye Posted October 24, 2011 Report Share Posted October 24, 2011 That fix didnt work for me. Do you have to reboot for the changes to take effect? I made sure the box in UI settings was checked (which it already was, by default, I guess), and then i changed "bt.auto_dl_enable" to "false". . .and nothing. So i shut down the program and restarted it with a new file...and still the automatic download of every single file started. Went back to preferences to make sure that the changes i made had actually stuck, and they did. It just did nothing for me. Anyone have another direction to point me in? Getting sooo frustrated! Having the choice of which files to download BEFORE the download started was an important feature. What's going on with this new version? I had started a different thread about another feature that seems to be missing. I miss the old BitTorrent!!!!! I love that security holes get patched up with new versions, and that new features are added, but why take away key features?! Even if there is some way to get it working again - why make it so difficult to get what used to be standard default features working? Was the fact that this used to be a good program pissing someone off? Please BitTorrent, bring back the old method of choosing individual files to download (...and bring back the "trackers" tab while you're at it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted November 26, 2011 Report Share Posted November 26, 2011 the only reason I signed up for the forum is to find a solution to the issue how to select a file from a bundled torrent. even the admin here seems to be helplessI FIGURED IT OUT! HERE'S WHAT YOU DO:1.) Toggle View (upper right hand corner)2.) Options > Preferences > Advanced > bt.auto_dl_enable (it should say "enabled", change this to "false")3.) Options > Preferences > UI Settings > "Show a window that displays..." (it should already be checked, so un-check this box, then re-check this box).4.) Save preferences and close the BT window. 5.) Go to the BT icon on your task bar, right-click and choose "exit" . 6.) Start BT.7.) Choose a torrent to download, and enjoy your ability to choose which files in the torrent to download.I hope this was helpful to you. It worked perfectly for me (Windows 7) .

Matt9876 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have noticed that if I use a magnet link, BitTorrent has no idea what the contents of the torrent are until it starts downloading. Would there be any way to create a feature where BT would connect in order to get the information about the torrent, but not start downloading the files until you've had a chance to choose among them?
