Why is this "feature" not implemented in Transmission?
Because it makes the overall swarm's health worse.

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
I'm talking about the "phylosophy" that make the Transmission's devs to not implement this feature :

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
Sorry but I'm not doing anything to Transmission since I don't have any response from x190 : I'm not going to mess with others work until I'm sure to not break any "philosophy rule" of P2P or Transmission. But thank you for your support : at least, I'm not the only one to think that it cou...

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
I think the ticket is talking about the files and not the blocks of a file. But it seems that the problem is the same. If I understand well, downloading the blocks of a file "in order" is bad for the BitTorrent network ? I think I understand why : if the file is downloading randomly, it's ...

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
Against the spirit of BitTorrent ?
I though it was the creator of BitTorrent that had developed the Streaming over BitTorrent ?!
Can you explain me the spirit of BT ? I didn't had heard of it so far.

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
OK, so, the inspector option has nothing to do with my "request", then. ;-) Is there any kind of problem that could come if we tell that a file should be downloaded in priority, and the blocks in order ? The best would be that Transmission will try to download the firsts blocks of a file i...

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
So, if I understand well, the arrows of priorities I see next to the files names can be replaced to something else in order to activate the "download in order" option ?
Why are those 2 options not activated at the same time ? It can't be used at the same time ?

Re: Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
Thank you ! I Didn't had seen that ticket.
In this ticket, it said that we can change the priority "by hand" in the file inspector. How can we do that ? I can't find it, I only see the possibility to change the priority of a file among the others.

Request : Priority to firsts blocks of a file
Hello ! I rode somewhere that BitTorrent can be used for streaming. So, I though that it must be possible to download the "parts" (or "blocks") of a file from the first bit to the last one. In Transmission, we can set priority to some downloads and/or some files. I think it would...
