rtorrent: How to NOT download a file in the torrent?


Hi all, I just downloaded a torrent file, which contains information of several different files. But I really want only one of them. How do I delete the others like what we do with the 'normal (with GUI)' BitTorrents clients?
Thanks!

Hi,

The rtorrent manual is here:
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/wiki/RTorrentUserGuide

Since I don't use rtorrent myself, I can't really test it out. But the manual seems to be a good place to start.


good luck,

@rabbi2345: Thanks, and you are right, I should have read it more carefully. It was there.
@Hammett: With the right keyword, I could then quickly locate this one in the manual. Thanks a lot!
