creating and seeding a torrent and other guides by modtang
 
1. Open the torrent as usual. It will need to be downloading for you to do the following (i.e. it can't be queued). Double-click on the torrent you want to get only some files from.
 
2. Click on the Files tab.
 
3. This is what you'll be looking at now. Decide which files you don't want to download and select them.
  • 1 file: Click on it
  • xx files (in a row): Click on the first one, hold the shift key and click the last one. All should be selected.
  • xx files (not in a row): Click on the first one, hold the Ctrl key and click on each file you don't want to download. When you're done, release the Ctrl key.
 
4. Right-click on just one of the files you've selected. Choose Set Priority > Do not download. The files you selected will not be downloaded.
 
NOTE: If you do not download the entire torrent your Done statistic in the main Azureus window will NOT reach 100%. You should leave the torrent window open, or you can close it and re-open it to check from time-to-time to see when the files you are downloading are finished (they will have 100% in the % column). If you want to be a good downloader and seed 1:1 on the files you've downloaded, look at the window pictured in the second image on this page. You can see how much you've downloaded and how much you've uploaded. Seeder 1:1 means both these numbers will be approximately the same. If anything, upload should be a little over download, just to make sure.
