Package: transmission Version: 0.96.dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist I'd like to have an option to, given a choice between multiple equally useful chunks, bias towards requesting chunks from earlier in the file. Ideally, if transmission always has its choice of chunks and can keep saturating available bandwidth, it should download contiguous chunks from the beginning of the file. This would allow programs that can handle partial files to usefully process a partial download. For instance, most video players can play a partially downloaded video file, and nautilus can thumbnail such files.
Similarly, when downloading a multi-file torrent, transmission could bias towards completing partial files. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-rc4 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages transmission depends on: ii transmission-cli 0.96.dfsg-1 free, lightweight BitTorrent clien ii transmission-common 0.96.dfsg-1 free, lightweight BitTorrent clien ii transmission-gtk 0.96.dfsg-1 free, lightweight BitTorrent clien transmission recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
