confused about bit torrents

hi,
i tried searching the forums for an answer to this question but i couldnt find one. When I used BitLord on Windows and I downloaded a torrent file, I could chose which files (in the torrent) that I wanted to download and which ones I didn't want. How do you do the same thing on the mac? I've downloaded Tomato Torrent, Transmission, and Bit Torrent but I can't work out how to select which files to download?
Thanks

so you want to download different parts of a torrent? i would see if azureus can do that.

Azureus can do that. I have done it before.

i believe there is a patch to get azuerus to work, why would you need to do this? i am curious!

I found a big torrent file and only need one file out of it because I have the rest of them, nothing too mysterious lol. Ill look for that azuerus patch, cheers.

Yes, this feature is application-specific. Tomato and transmission dont do it as youve seen. Azureus is the only one that i know to work.

And coach Z, sometimes you want get say maybe half a cd, or one part of a two part movie. Being able to deselect what you DONT want from what youre downloading greatly reduces the time for it to download. It sounds pointless, but is indeed rather handy.
