Can I sequence the files I download? This is quite a common question. This entry will try to answer it and offer solutions.
## Why is this "feature" not implemented in Transmission?
Because it makes the overall swarm's health worse.
## But I want to sequence the files I download, how do I do it?
There are basically two methods, one DIY method that requires some code modification and the "user friendly" version.
1. DIY code changing approach: Tweak _compareRefillPiece()_ in _libtransmission/peer-mgr.c_
Replace:
```c
/* otherwise go with our random seed */
return tr_compareUint16( a->random, b->random );
```
With:
```c
/* otherwise download the pieces in order */
return tr_compareUint16( a->piece, b->piece );
```
2. "User-friendly" approach: In the file inspector, change the priorities "by hand".

Please go through the _entire checklist_ before asking for more help! Otherwise the forum helpers will likely just point you back here.
## 1. Is it your network?
If you are not sure whether the problem is a specific torrent or your network, it is easy to get a point of reference — add a fast torrent for benchmarking. Many users visit [the Ubuntu torrent page](https://torrent.ubuntu.com:6969/), scan down the page for the line with the most seeders and downloaders, and join the swarm for a few minutes to see what speeds they will reach.

More generally, you can also measure your bandwidth at [speedtest.net](https://www.speedtest.net/). However, this is not as good a BitTorrent benchmark as the previous approach.
