Post subject:  Multi-file torrent, sequential download order

I'm using TorrentFlux on a Linux box with Bittornado (Debian). I was experiencing relatively low speed on specific torrent, so I investigated a bit. Torrents that contain 1 file with more than 5000 seeds download about 2000 kbyte/sec, but when a torrent contains multiple files the download speed drops to 200 kbyte/sec.
Checking the files showed that the files are being downloaded sequntially
:shock: So first foo.r01, then foo.r02 downloads, and so on, I checked the file's size, only one file's size grows at a time.
Can I somehow configure Bittornado to load multiple chunks from multiple files (and hopefully from multiple and a lot more seed)?? This kind of behavior seriously slows down download/upload.
Or is it not Bittornado related? Thx.

BitTornado may fill file space sequentially, but it does NOT download the data sequentially. Check the "details" pane to see how much of each file has been received.

The only place I found "Details" in TorrentFlux is the Home panel, and the first icon besides each torrent. But that doesn't give any detail about the files download percentage, only their original size :cry: . Can you plz give me details where should I look?

In Torrentflux, can't help you. It'd be "details" under btdownloadgui.

Sounds like not a tornado issue...
