Files in folder are not downloaded in order #51

I have a few videos ordered with each of them starting from a numerical in a folder to be synced/downloaded.

However they aren't downloaded in the correct order, but randomly. This is problematic when the files are a part of a tutorial, the client bandwidth is low and total folder size is huge.

MEGAsync version: Latest from the website at the time of posting. OS: Xubuntu GNU/Linux.

Transfers are ordered by size (lower size first), the names of the files are not taken into account. That's why files are not downloaded in the order that you expect.

In MEGAsync 3.0 (the new version that we are developing), transfers will be dispatched in the same order as they are added to the transfer queue. The order could still be different than the one you want, because the sync engine could add the transfers in a different order. However, MEGAsync 3.0 will allow to manually change the priority of transfers so I think that you will be able to use that feature for your purpose.

The new version will be released in two months at most (MEGA anniversary). For now, I think that for your specific purpose, it could be better to use the web.
