Suggestion

Suppose you're downloading a folder containing 100 files. The last seed goes away (or there may not even be seeds, just peers) so you end up with an incomplete folder download with no hope to ever complete it. But if it's incomplete at a high percentage (such as 95%), it means up to 95 files in that downloaded folder may be at 100% while a minority of the files are useless.

Actually, there is NO WAY that I know of to select all file names in the Content view matching a given criterium (such as all files at less than 100% Progress to be able to delete these files from the containing folder).

Use case

Recover all files at 100% Progress from incomplete folder download.
Delete all files at less than 100% Progress from incomplete folder download.

Thanks for considering this feature request. If implemented, it would make saving precious files that would otherwise be lost a lot easier. Think of collections of ebooks or photos, for example.
