does the torrent has many files?

if the torrent has lots of files, you can choose one file to download by selecting do no download on the other files. this can be done via your client.

however if the torrent is just a single file(like compressed or folder) you have no choice but to download the whole torrent.

It has multiple files
Can you be more specific because what I'm doing isn't working

hmm...what client are you using?

Yes, the exact precedures depend on the client. Most clients support selective downloading. Once you get to the screen where it lists all the files in the torrent, you can probably figure it out yourself.

Unless it's a really big torrent, it's probably better to just download the whole thing. When you pick and choose as a leecher, most seeds will just ignore your requests.

If you using bitcomet,
just press on torrent - and you see down there like this - click on the files(I circle in the picture) - right hand side you should see all the files you downloading - then right click the files you want and set it to the higest priority

If you using Azureus,
Click on the torrent file - right click it and press show detail - press the files tab - then it show the song you downloading - then right click again on the file you wish to download - and set it the priority to high
