Normally qBittorrent will download many files simultaneously. Is there a way to tell it to use all bandwidth/connections to download one file and then move to the other?

Setting file priorities does help, but that's a lot of manual work, and two files with the same priority will be downloaded in parallel anyway.

This is not to start watching a video before it's downloaded fully! Its to finish downloading the 1 episode out of batch of 3.

Utorrent could do it easily, but new version of the program does not want to turn off ads fully as it did before, so i had to leave.

If there is absolutely no way qbittorrent can do this, please point me to a couple of other programs, small and fast, free, no ads.

UPD: BiglyBT have the needed features, but something in the interface that doesnt fit. I still hope to make qbittorrent do the trick, or try some other program.

Use BiglyBT- Feature-filled Bittorrent client based on the Azureus open source project

biglybt

Fast, entirely open source and ad-free and features packed

And in my experience not small like qBittorrent but worth the compromise because of the features it provides

Compare features with other torrent clients

  • Thanks for your input. BiglyBT has the needed function and good tree-like file/folder list but its interface is strange. Doesnt have some of needed columns - i need full size / size of chosen / downloaded / uploaded / remaining / status / down speed / up speed / date of finishing. It has only half of that... Advanced list of torrents opens second list of unknown purpose... At this point i prefer the qbittorrent and still hope to find all the necessary features in it or in other client.

  • It was a glitch or something, now i see all the columns. It almost solves it. Just something in the interface that bugs me. I will keep both qbittorrent and BiglyBT for now, but i want to try something else before settling.

  • the image link is dead. That's why it's recommended to use the internal image uploader of stackexchange that uploads to stack.imgur.com and never deletes the image
