[Feature Request] delete individual files without recheck #718

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
A common problem when downloading large torrents full of videos and other types 
of content is that there is not necessarily enough room on the hard drive for 
the whole torrent, so as the user watches the videos, they must delete the ones 
they have watched in order to download the ones they haven't. Currently, the 
only way to do this is to delete the files outside of the bittorrent client and 
then force a recheck in the client. This operation does not in principle 
require a recheck, though.

So, it would be very handy to delete unwanted files in a torrent without having 
to do the recheck. I am told by the maintainers of qbittorrent that the only 
way to do this is within libtorrent itself. I attach the corresponding feature 
request on their tracker.
