The original post: /r/torrents by /u/3IIeu1qN638N on 2024-12-12 12:41:29.

problem: the torrent file has 5 files and I'm only interested in 1. How can I pick/choose the file that I want?

setup:

• running transmission-daemon in a headless setup (RPi or low power NUC)
• using a transmission remote client to control/manage downloads
• client PC is running Linux

things I have tried:

• I've used transmission-remote-gui in Windows (and this does what I want) but this is unavailable for my chosen distro.
• I've tried transmission-remote-gtk BUT this does not allow me to pick and choose what I want.
• transmission-daemon includes a web-based management client but I also cannot pick and choose what I want.

limitation:

• Only 1 and that is I want to keep on using Linux instead of moving to Windows.

Any suggestions/tips?
