Downloading part of a collection
-
Greetings!
Quick question, is it okay to download just the files you want from a collection or does that break the rules? I noticed that you can uncheck items from the torrent just before you start the download and not download the whole lot. Sometimes im not interested in all the files contained just one or two.
Finding my way around and don't want to be doing something thats not allowed. Thanks guys

Yes. Just download the files you are interested in. Check or UnCheck whichever it is setup for.

Thanks for that

There is no rule that says that you must download the entire torrent. With that being said however, if you do not download 100% of the torrent's contents, the tracker will not acknowledge you as seeding the torrent, even though your torrent client will say that you are seeding. The problem with this comes in whereas if you ever lose your download rights due to low ratio, you will not be able to seed that content because the tracker will acknowledge you as a seeder because your torrent client does not report that it has 100% of the entire torrent, but only the content that you have selected to download out of that collection.

Thanks MrMazda, to be honest I'm surprised its allowed the idea seams a little cheeky to me and I felt uncomfortable doing it last night, it was just that I already had most of the files in the torrents and I was only interested in a select few. Your words serve as a good caution message and are taken on board. Cheers!
