Download Just One File in a Torrent

[hariseldon1]

I finished downloading a torrent last year, and now one of the files in that torrent has become corrupted. I'm fairly certain that I have or can find the original torrent. I need to redownload a torrent to get one file.

I notice that when I right click on a torrent and select Properties / Files, all the files in the torrent are listed and in the right-hand column each file's priority is listed. The user has the option to alter the priority of an individual file's priority, changing one to "HIgh" if desired.

I notice that when I select Properties / Actions, one of the options is "Cancel download and save incomplete file(s).

Do I have to redownload an entire torrent with multiple files to replace one corrupted file I need, or can I download just the one file I need from a torrent with multiple files?

I don't have a batch torrent running but if you set the priority for the file to the lowest ("none","no", sorry, I really can't remember but it should be obvious) Shareaza does not download them. And will complete the torrent correctly when files with priority have completed. It may show some weird numbers while you are still downloading though, since it can't exclude the chance of you changing your mind and wanting those other files after all. Ignore that.
