Download first chunks first

Tue Jun 30, 2009 11:20 am
Is there any way to make ktorrent to attempt to download the file as in-order as possible? Would be very handy for start watching a movie (or any streaming thing) before it's fully completed.

There was a discussion on writing a new chunk selector some weeks ago here: http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3480

I dunno if seth completed the plugin.

You could probably get what you want from a script using the API tor.setFilePriority(file_index,prio).

See:
http://ktorrent.org/wiki/index.php/Writing_Scripts
http://ktorrent.org/wiki/index.php/API_Reference

Edit: Close to what you want, given files aren't chunks (oops). And in the interest of using the developer's time more efficiently, maybe someone could add a request for chunk APIs to this thread viewtopic.php?f=1&t=3496 ?


Such a very amazing link!
Thanks you for the post.
