Partial Downloading

Yes, we call this “Partial Downloading”.

With a TorrentHandle object you want to play with methods like

filePriority(int index, Priority priority)

where the index represents the position of the file you want to download (or not) in the list of files described by the torrent.

You can also use prioritizeFiles(Priority[] priorities) to update the priorities, and you can find what the priorities are with Priority[] filePriorities()

A (Downloading) Priority is an enum whose possible values are
IGNORE (Don’t download this file),
NORMAL (Download this file depending on availability)

and then you have priorities that are considered higher than NORMAL,
they start at TWO all the way to SEVEN.

You can use the other priorities
different than NORMAL if you want certain files to be downloaded before others (network conditions allowing)

We won’t be supporting 10.14.6 anymore. (although it most likely run fine for the most part)

Our oldest mac from 2014 (7 years old as of this post) upgraded fine to macOS 11.5.2 Big Sur and FrostWire passes all tests in it.

Starting our next desktop build we will be focusing on supporting macOS 12 Monterrey as we’ve had a few users with newer computers reporting crashes.
