Hi!

I have a problem... there's a torrent which is larger than the free space on my disk, but I just want to download a few files from it... unfortunately, when I try to do it, it still allocates space for the whole torrent in the .kde/share/apps/ktorrent/tor0/dnd directory which is in my home directory... and that's how I end up having a totally full disk. Is that a bug, or is it possible to disable it somehow? I'm using ktorrent 2.1beta1....

kTorrent becomes very slow and almost crashes when trying to select which files to download if there are a lot of files in a torrent. One with 4000rarfiles gave me some serious problems.

This has recently changed, we now create the files after the file selection dialog is closed. And only the necessary files are created. This should improve things with 4000 files torrents.

ktorrent-2.2.1.dfsg.1-1 (Debian sid)

torrent contains 1 large file and 3 small. I uncheck large file and click 'OK'. But ktorrent reserves disk space for large file :-(
