Custom delete function for preserving piece integrity

**Shawn-Roger** · 22-06-2010

I was thinking that it would be very helpful if the custom delete function for preserving piece integrity is added in uTorrent. So, there will be an option saying SKIP or DELETE. With the help of this option, a user of this application will be able to delete the pieces of the files in the download. But, at the same time, the integrity of the same will not be harmed. I would like to know about the views of you people on this. Interested people are requested to reply on this topic.

Any feature that you want to be added can be requested to the officials. You just need to send a mail or contact them in any official manner. Mention the feature that you want to be included in uTorrent. It will be better if you include the advantage of adding the new feature in it, so that more consideration will be given by the officials. Thus, if they feel that the feature is useful, then they will release it will the next version of the application that will be released. They will also respond to you.

I guess that it will be very useful if the custom delete function for preserving piece integrity will be included in the torrent applications. When any particular file is downloaded, that is when the download is going on, if there are no seeds, there is a hindrance. So, the file that does not have the file can be skipped by this method and the integrity for other files will be preserved in a way that there will be no issues while their download is going on.

The custom delete function for preserving piece integrity that you guys want to include is a very tough one. Actually, the files that are being downloaded are related to each other. So, if one of the files is skipped or deleted, there will be other files that are related to it.

In this situation, there will a problem while downloading the other files. So, ultimately the download will break.

It is highly recommended that files must not be removed while downloading torrents. The reason for this is simple. There will be issues after the whole file is downloaded. If it is a game, then it wont run. If it is movie, then it wont play properly. So, there are various related issues. Hence, I guess that it will not be possible to include the custom delete function for preserving piece integrity.

I am not removing any of the files while the torrent downloads are going on. I was just asking the views of you guys on adding a feature of the custom delete function for preserving piece integrity. Anyways, it was very helpful that I got some comments. I will just report about the feature that I want to the officials. It will be better if they can add the same and provide for the uTorrent users.
