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".
