Files

The Files tab allows you to view what files are included in the torrent, as well as provide the ability to control what files are downloaded. Double-clicking on any file will open it as if it were opened from Explorer (meaning that µTorrent will attempt to open the file in the associated application for the file type).

• Name is the file's original path as described in the .torrent file metadata.
• Path is the file's save path on disk. If the path is not an absolute (full) path, it is the path relative to the torrent job's Save As directory.
• # Pieces is the number of pieces that comprise the file.
• % is the approximate percent of the file that µTorrent has completed. Its value is calculated by dividing the number under the Done column by the number under the Size column. Because this number is calculated using the size of all completed pieces only, it will not increase until another piece of the file has finished downloading.
• Done displays the total amount of data you have downloaded for that file that passed the hash checks.
• First Piece is the number of the first piece in the .torrent file that contains data for the file.
• Mode displays how µTorrent is using the file.
  • Write mode means the file is being actively written to.
  • Read mode means the file is not being actively written to.
• Pieces is the graphical progress bar for the file.
  • Blue means the data has been written to disk.
  • Green means the data is still unwritten to disk.
  • Red means the data is is not available in the swarm.
  • White means the data is is available in the swarm, but has not yet been downloaded.
• Priority displays the priority given to the file.
  • high means µTorrent will attempt to complete the file more aggressively relative to other files of lower priorities (low or normal). If there is an opportunity for this file to become more complete, µTorrent will take it. Note that this does not guarantee the completion of the file, or that the file will complete before other files of lower priorities.
  • normal is the default priority given.
  • low means µTorrent will attempt to complete the file less aggressively relative to other files of higher priorities (normal or high). If there is an opportunity for another file of higher priority to become more complete, µTorrent will take it over downloading for this file. Note that this does not guarantee that the file will complete after other files of higher priorities.
  • skip means the file will not be downloaded. Do note that some files share pieces with other files. As such, you might notice that a part of a skipped file (or possibly an entire file, if it is smaller than the piece size) is downloaded. Understand that this does not mean µTorrent has ignored your request to not download the file.
• Size shows the size of the file.
• Rate, Resolution, Duration, Streamable, Has Header, Codecs - all of those are internal properties related to media files, that might be streamed.
