I know I can use the files tab to choose which files to download & skip, but this is much more cumbersome, and has done nothing but confuse other users I know.

That was a huge plus that made a lot of people start using it & now it kind of feels like the feature is fading away. I remember when uTorrent came out with the feature to select or de-select files in a torrent. Or instead of saying "Downloading" how about making it say "Retrieving Meta Info" for the download's status.Īs is, it makes me feel like I'm using eMule or something, not uTorrent. Perhaps an option to allow/disallow the save dialog with default set to off would do the trick. That would be exactly what I expect, retrieve the meta info, then ask me where to save the files. As such, if the user adds a magnet URI, steps away, and forgets that he/she needs to select a download directory once the metainfo file is actually received, the torrent would never proceed downloading until the user gets back, which may not be what the user expects.Īs such, if the user adds a magnet URI, steps away, and forgets that he/she needs to select a download directory once the metainfo file is actually received, the torrent would never proceed downloading until the user gets back, which may not be what the user expects.
The reason it doesn't ask immediately once the magnet URI is added is because µTorrent doesn't actually know anything about the torrent contents (name, size, or files) until it gets the metainfo, and (as mentioned above) the metainfo can take a bit of time to get.
The only real user-facing issue currently with µTorrent's handling of magnet URIs (for the Windows version anyway - I'm not sure how µTorrent Mac handles it) is that it doesn't actually ask the user where he/she wishes to save the torrent contents to on the drive - it uses the default download location set in the preferences. torrent file sharing.Īfter µTorrent gets the metainfo file over DHT, it behaves no differently than a regular. torrent file directly from some HTTP server, but that's the price you'll have for having decentralized, peer-to-peer. torrent file) over DHT than it would take to get the. It can take a bit longer to get the metainfo (as in the necessary part of the. It's not necessarily better or worse - it's just a different transferring model (no centralized location for getting the metainfo). torrent file (the info dictionary) from another peer over DHT. Magnet URIs basically tell clients to get the main part of the.
