megido-rev.M:
If there were no context, me saying 'all files' would mean every single one in the universe.
Here I meant the ones in the torrent in question.

I thought they just meant if everything was fully d/led which it was for what I had d/l was fully done, they didn't specify if i was getting parts of torrents and not full ones. If they said that it would have made more sense to me either way though thanks for the help guys

If you are asking if there's a way for you to check, yes, just see what files you selected on a torrent.

If you're asking if there's a way for the tracker to check, no, the tracker only knows how much of a torrent you have completed. If the amount is less than the total size of the torrent, it's assumed that you are leeching, even if you don't want the rest of the torrent.

Had you partly downloaded 9 more, you wouldn't have been able to download additional torrents until you solved the problem.

**outch** Didn't know about that one.  I have no problem seed back the things I d/l, but that doesn't mean I want to download everything in my path.  That seems like a lame rule.  So in order to not have a partial d/l count against you, you have to stop seed it?  That seems counterproductive.  I mean I've had a couple of those (that eventually either finished or were removed ... but they were things like characters-talking on "sound track" / "music" collections -- that were neither soundtrack nor music ;-)...  Hey, if I understood japanese, or had subs... it'd be cool, but w/o either, those are a bit pointless ...

JMO, but I'd have to hope the trackers gets some more smarts -- like looking at the amount d/l'ed and seeing if that changes...  but easy for me to think that when I'm not doing the programming...

Tiffanys:
It's inconvenient the way it is but with the current technology no other way is possible, so you'll just have to bear with it unfortunately.

megido-rev.M:
If a torrent were incomplete, but you consider it complete, it still doesn't stop you from downloading more pieces in the distant future, making it 'more complete'.
It would be pretty troubling to make a tracker work with that.
