Details:

I'm downloading some directory from bittorent, and from time to time, my
source add a new file to the directory, so creating a new .bittorent file.
I've read somewhere (mldonkey-world ?) a way to continue the download without
having to start it from scratch, but it is slow and error prone (I've already
lost several Mb of download by using this). The btdownloadcurses downloader
have no problem, and it would be cool if this could be done on some automated
way.

"Can someone make a patch that allows one to select file(s) to download in a
multifile torrent? I suppose that should'nt be too difficult to implement?

People loves to release a lot of files inside a single torrent.(e.g. TV
series). I only need some of the files.(e.g. lastest episode of that series).
Without being able to select what to download in that torrent I am forced to
downloading something useless.(e.g. Downloading older episodes of the series
over and over again.) "
