The Add New Torrent dialog allows you to change several options for the torrent job before it is added to your torrent jobs list. This dialog is displayed only if the relevant option is enabled in the Preferences. Files selected/deselected in this dialog can be deselected/reselected in the Files tab's context menu.
Save As
- The combobox allows you to specify the location you wish to download the torrent contents. Previously used locations are saved in the combobox and can be used again.
- The Skip hash check checkbox tells µTorrent to not bother checking existing data for corruption. It is strongly recommended that you do not use this option, as corruption can sometimes happen unknowingly, outside of one's own control. Sharing corrupt pieces is detrimental to the swarm.
- The Start torrent checkbox tells µTorrent to start the torrent job after it is added to the torrent jobs list. If unchecked, the torrent job will be added in Stopped mode.
- The Label combobox allows you to set a label for the torrent job being added. Existing labels are displayed in the combobox, but you are free to create a new label if you wish.
- The Add to top of queue checkbox will give the torrent job a queue number of 1. If combined with the Start torrent option, this will start the torrent job immediately.
Torrent Contents
- Name displays the name of the torrent job, taken from the .torrent file.
- Comment shows the comment placed on the .torrent file job by its creator.
- Size displays the total amount of space required for the files being downloaded. Selective file downloading is taken into account, so only the data you select to be downloaded will be counted. When files are skipped, the total size of the torrent contents (not taking selective file downloading into account) is displayed next to the selected size. The last number in the parentheses displays the amount of space available in the disk that the torrent contents are being downloaded to.
- Date shows the day and time at which the .torrent file was created.
- The Select All button will mark all files to be downloaded.
- The Select None button will mark all files to be skipped.
- The Files list-view is a list of all files in the .torrent file, and allows you to select which files you want to download. The following is a description of each column:
- Name column displays the filename. A checkmark to the left of the filename means the file will be downloaded, while an empty checkbox means the file will not be downloaded. Pressing Space on the keyboard toggles this for the selected file(s).
- Path is the location that the file will be downloaded to on disk. If this column is blank, then the file will be downloaded into the torrent job's Save As location. If this column displays a partial path (not a full path that includes a drive root), then that is the subdirectory in the Save As directory that the file will be saved to.
- Size column displays the size of the file.
- Select will mark the selected file(s) to be downloaded.
- Deselect will mark the selected file(s) to be skipped.
- Select All will mark all files to be downloaded.
- Deselect All will mark all files to be skipped.
The Advanced... button brings up the Torrent Properties dialog.
