It downloads all files even when I discard something

[GoogleCodeExporter]

transmission-remote-gtk svn version

I have added several torrents and I disable the download of some files of that 
torrents but it downloads all files.
For example:

but:

$ ll torrent-descargas/xxx/Never\ Too\ Big/
total 1,1G
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 803K nov 26 23:04

-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon 1,1G nov 26 23:27 Never Too Big.avi
-rw-r--r-- 1 simon simon  69K nov 26 23:03 Never_Too_Big_VHSRip.jpg

All files take up space.
Is it a Transmission error or from this interface?

I think the test to see if the interface is working correctly is to set it, 
disconnect, reconnect, and see if it's as you set it (files set to not 
download). If so, then it's been persisted on Transmission and we can probably 
rule the interface out as there's nothing more it can really do.

I know of two reasons this could happen. One (you may have guessed) is if you 
set it to unwanted after the file had downloaded. If so, it will stay.

The other likely reason is because of the way bittorrent downloads chunks and 
they need to be checksummed. If a chunk overlaps a wanted file and an unwanted 
file, it has to download the whole chunk to checksum it, and Transmission will 
keep and report the actual downloaded size for the unwanted file. So for small 
files like this it's quite normal when you download the larger files. Chunk 
size can be different between torrents if I remember rightly.

Does the same happen on other torrents with more regular file sizes, when you 
set this straight away?

ok, it's a "problem" of checksum. It isn't an transmission-remote-gtk error.
