That is how he torrent protocol works. You are asking for an ftp style pull. Torrents are generally pre-allocated on disk which reduces file fragmentation. One thing I always do is when the gui says 100%, I stop it from the menu stop, verify that there are no processes left, and restart it, which causes the engine to recheck the download and fix any errors. > B) How can KT be told: > 1) at first, only download on torrent1 until it is completely dl'd. > 2) then, switch to dl'ing 5 torrents simultaneously That I can't answer. I do know there is some scripting ability, but its defaults have always Just Worked(TM) for me. Some of its earlier gui's were a disaster, but the torrent engine worked fine.
