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're two methods basically, one DIY that requires a bit of code changing 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".
