How do I cancel file checking?

[Sevi 0]

often when I open bittorrent it will check several of the torrents before it starts downloading. If it decides it wants to check ones that are rather large this can take several minutes, how do I cancel file checks on already downloaded files?

You don't.

Well I dunno if as an admin you have the dev teams ear, but please relay my frustrations, perhaps an option to have priority downloads that start before the checks on already downloaded files, and it could check while downloading?

If it's re-checking on its own, that means that some conditions on your system tell BitTorrent that the files have changed since the last session. In that case, it NEEDS to do the re-check, in spite of what you might think.
