Using SetPriority to exclude files

[paulmortlock]

I saw an example on the wiki but this does not work.

Pass ITorrentManagerFile to SetFilePriorityAsync()

await torrentManager.SetFilePriorityAsync(torrentManager.Files[0], Priority.DoNotDownload);

[paulmortlock]

That does not make sense to me show me please if there is also a way to do this without using foreach as it is slow when 14K files are present.

[paulmortlock]

This is better but I have 87K files.

                var tasks = manager.Files
                .Where(files => !StartsWithStrings.Any(prefix => files.Path.StartsWith(prefix)) ||
                                !ContainsStrings.Any(prefix => files.Path.Contains(prefix)))
                .Select(async files =>
                {
                    await manager.SetFilePriorityAsync(files, Priority.DoNotDownload);
                    n2--;
                });
                await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

Hello

Can we have a default Priority in the Torrent settings so all files can already be set to DoNotDownload (or whatever)?

Setting them all takes a while with a lot of files.

I tried not awaiting for SetFilePriorityAsync() but then await StartAsync() took ages.

Nice work BTW, everything works like a charm for me.

Cheers

SetFilePriorityAsync() under .net Framework 4.8 this is A LOT slow than using .net 9.0 using exactly the same code.

EDIT: Actually I would have to do more tests to say this for sure.
