Penélope Lichlyter
I am downloading some TV Series using uTorrent .But I want to download on the basis of the episode ( File name ) sequentially .So I want the 4th episode to start downloading only after the first three are finished .Currently I am changing the file priority for 2/3 torrents to high and all others are skipped . Thanks in advance
Attempts to download the selected torrents in sequential order. Torrent pieces are usually downloaded in an optimal order which maximizes speed and benefits to the swarm health. Downloading in sequential order is useful for preview files. However, this feature is against Bittorrent protocol recommendations due to its negative effect on the swarm. It is thus discouraged to use this feature. A more detailed explanation of why this feature is bad is available here
See uTorrent settings with opened parameters bt.sequential_download (use this for sequential download one movie) and bt.sequential_files (use this for sequential download TVseries from in that sequence as specified in torrent file).
qbitorrent has 2 options that allows you to download your file in sequentially order (from the beginning to the end so it allows you to watch it instantly with VLC media player)download first and last part preferentially so you can easily preview the file
This used to be an advanced option in uTorrent you could set for all torrents, but now the only way to do it is if you click on the torrent, go to the files tab below the torrent list, rick click the video, Copy Stream URL, open that up with a video player such as VLC and then it will set that file to download sequentially. After that, you can either leave the video running closing the player should keep it downloading sequentially afterward.
Typically, qBittorrent fetches the pieces in a random order from different parts of the file. However, this option forces the client to go in sequential order, starting from the beginning to the end of the file. This feature may be useful if you plan on watching shows immediately while the download is still in progress.
