If I open a magnet link with more than one file and I uncheck some of them, qBittorrent downloads them anyway.

An example, I checked only the The.100.S03E01.720p.HDTV.x264-KILLERS.mkv file:

Duplicate of #2659

Version 4.0.x is released. It uses libtorrent 1.1.x which puts the unwanted part files in the hidden file
".<torrent_hash>.parts" which is put in the same folder as the root folder(if any) of the torrent.
For the moment it's not possible to put that file somewhere else.
