Download Sequentially

Each torrent is composed of equi-sized pieces. Sequential download is a way of downloading the pieces sequentially. If a torrent is quite healthy, and has good number of seeds and peers, Torrenter will automatically download the pieces sequentially for performing disk I/O operations efficiently. However, if the torrent isn’t healthy, downloading sequentially may significantly decrease the transfer rate. A notable use of sequential download is for streaming videos.

There is one way to enable/disable sequential download:

  • Torrents table context menu

    • Right click on the torrent in the torrents table

    • Click Download in Sequential Order in the context menu
