Space on a Harddrive is limited, and I'm in the situation, where I needed to buy myself a new, bigger Harddisk, just because qBittorrent stored stuff I didn't want and could'nt delete. If qBittorrent would simply wait with downloading until the user specififyed exactly which parts he wants, a lot of network traffic would be saved, as also valuable space on the harddisk. The other solution is, that qBittorrent deletes those files automatically, once the user has chosen to not wanting / keeping them. If I download a torrent-file that consists out of 100 different pieces in different subfolders where I manually have to check if I want them or not, I need at least 200s for that. During that time, 62MB of data are downloaded from qBittorrent, probably 60MB that I don't want and deselect, because I only want one very specific file from the large torrent. I download 100 torrents that are like that, then qBittorrent already wastes more than half a GB of data on my Harddrive. Time goes on, I download 1000 torrents like that (that's really no unrealistic number, I know people that seed up to 20k of torrents) , 600 GB non-wanted data from qBittorrent. So after 1000 torrents, a complete harddrive would be full of superflous data. A 500GB Harddrive is absolutely realistic too, I bought my notebook 2y ago, it really was not cheap, and it had a 500 GB harddrive, which was considered very large back than."}}
