Torrent File Download Priority #1605

One of the very basic features of Torrent clients, and that is absent for Motrix is the ability to queue downloads by priority while downloading a torrent with multiple elements in a folder, in other words, having the ability to select which files should download first.

Usually torrent clients allow you to select a priority of about 5 settings of priority while downloading, this is extremely useful since, when you're downloading a batch for a complete season, multiple video files, of a web series you wish to watch, having the ability to set the first episode to the 'Highest Priority' and the second episode to a 'High' priority allows you to start watching that video file as soon is done downloading, and allows it to autoplay the second one when that one finishes. Usually when you're done watching the first couple of episodes the whole torrent is done downloading. It makes the experience of torrenting a lot more smooth.

Here is an Screenshot demonstrating a common torrent client setting priority for a torrent with multiple files:

You're able to select which filed not to download in the torrent information but it doesn't seems to be an option to select the priority:
