If you want, take a look at FatRat download manager possibilities. Maybe you’ll find some useful inspiration.

As mentioned the checkboxes do nothing atm – just to make sure that no one is disappointed if that feature does not make it in till the end of GSOC.

But when I implement the feature to choose files for download I’ll probably make an own dialog that would only consist a TreeView with the files and the things you mention that would pop up at the beginning of the download.

I want to make that sortable as well and also want to add the filesizes. What I’m not sure though is if a directory should always show 0 as filesize or the sum of the sizes of the files inside the directory – this is only a displaying issue it would be no problem to implement showing percentage of download (though I fear this would take too many resources for many files) with both ways.

Btw. do you know a legal torrent that contains many files? I’d need that for testing purposes and lost the torrent I found once (contained ~1000 files).

Hi, and thank you for your work

one thing I miss from the “open torrent” dialog box from KTorrent is a filter bar at the top of the file list (usefull when looking for a particular file in a huge torrent). A column with the size and the ability to sort by size would be usefull too, and some buttons to “check all/uncheck all”…

Maybe it would be nice to hide this extra features by default and to have a small “show…” at the right ?
