  • WebTorrent version: 0.8.1 (Windows)

Even after pausing the some file within the torrent. The paused file still continues to download.
I tried multiple torrents, but same issue pops up

You need to first run:

// Remove default selection (whole torrent)
torrent.deselect(0, torrent.pieces.length - 1, false)

Then you can select just the files you want:

torrent.files[0].select() // download the 1st file
torrent.files[5].select() // download the 6th file

// ... and do not download any of the other files

@feross What is the earliest time torrent.deselect() can be called? (to avoid downloading pieces and creating the files on disk). (After metadata or ready event?)

Right now, you have to call it after the ready event. But I'm going to fix that so it can be called earlier, after the metadata event.

Allow entire torrent deselect() to be called earlier

// Remove default selection (whole torrent)
torrent.deselect(0, torrent.pieces.length - 1, false)

Can now be called earlier, after 'metadata' instead of after 'ready'
