It will be very useful thing to add ability to choose only some files in the torrent to download when adding torrent (like in uTorrent). Also choose a directory to save file before start of downloading.
And please add separate button "load torrent file" instead of item in select-menu.
Hello Mac, you can actually already do both things in the window that pops up when you click on a search result in the WebUI (select the download dir, and the files you're interested in).
However I'd love it if the download dir selection window could remember the previously selected dir. :)
Both work that way.
If you search/select the same download, it will recognize the hash and will already select all selected.
No, I'm talking about adding torrent-file from my computer. Usual torrent-file from, for example, The Pirate Bay.
I use OS as bittorrent-client.
Now after I click on "Load torrent-file" in select-menu and choose torrent-file, it starts downloading without any window.
One stated reason for including a BitTorent client in OneSwarm is to bootstrap the F2F network with content. That kind of needs complete downloads... So... maybe this is a 'feature'.
You still can do this in the classic GUI...
Classic GUI -> Load torrent file -> select save location
After the download starts you can double click the row and in the tab "files" deselect the files you do not want.
But still.. if you only download a couple of files from the pirate-bay torrent, then do not forget to save those files in a "watch directory"... or make a new swarm of the things you download.
This feature would probably not end up in the browser interface.
I have found deсision. I set OS as a default bittorrent client and .torrent files now are opened by OS.
When I click on torrent-link on tracker, the classic UI window opens, and I can set folder to download and files to download.
Thanks.
But it's not absolutely good decision :)
This window in Classic UI (Azureus) is very very uncomfortable. For example, it's hard to find, how to put directory with files in necessary hierarchy. See my screenshot: http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/3432/opentorrents.png
I want to download folder with files. "Browse" button helps to set parent folder (Музыка), but I can't set/rename baby-folder (Музыка/O-Zone DiscO-Zone [2004]). To make this, I have to click right mouse button on the path and select "Change destination".
It's difficult to newbies, and I think, this function in more friendly view must be in WebUI.
