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:

    /* otherwise go with our random seed */
return tr_compareUint16( a->random, b->random );

    With:

    /* 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".
