In Version 3.1.4 (4.1) if i download a torrent with a single file there is no way to not download that file. Im not sure if its a bug or the ktorrent devs are trying to be clever but please allow me to not download individual files, because if i start downloading a torrent, then i decide i no longer want/need it the only way for me to get a good ratio is to download the whole thing then seed for quite some time (i have a 20:1 connection) under the kde3 version i could simply stop downloading, the file and on torrents with >1 file i can stop downloading all files, then what i had would be seeded until i deleted it.

I'm not one to preach about programing given you guys know much more than me but if this was a "feature" then i think its a good example of why you shouldn't stop users doing stupid things.

thx ~RIotingP

It wasn't possible to deselect the only file in a single file torrent in the KDE3 version either. This has never been possible.

Anyway, can you not compensate by uploading a different torrent a bit longer ?

I would also like this feature added, if possible.
Thank you!

I think we just need mode "seed without downloading" instead of adding ability to deselect 1 file in single-file torrent. It will be helpful for any amount of files in torrent. You can download any parts and seed them as long, as you want.

Not entirely sure where you'd add this to the gui but basically the ability to set upload speed to actual 0 instead of 0=infinity would be nice, ofc i think that would require major work but would be pretty nice.

The ability to only seed is on my TODO list, only download is against the spirit of the protocol and not very nice.
