Originally created by @EdoaLive on GitHub (Apr 4, 2016).

From changelog:
FEATURE: Download more pieces in "Download first and last pieces first" feature (ngosang)
This does not work well when both "Download first and last pieces first" AND "Download in sequential order" are checked:
You can see in the progress bar that the "more pieces" at the beginning of the file are yet to be downloaded completely (just some fragments) while after this space the rest of the file is being correctly downloaded in sequential order.

It works perfect for me, I always check both options. Could you try with other torrents?

Tried with another and this didn't happened... Could be the order in which the two options are checked? Or the availability? ... Will try again soon

I tried in both orders and it doesn't make any difference.

Or the availability?

If the first and last pieces are less common yes, but it's weird...

How can I replicate an issue that varies depending on other factors?
It happened to me and to others at least one time. It's a real issue IMHO.

If I'm right your .torrent contains several files.

We only download first and last pieces of the multimedia files inside the torrent. I think we should explain better how this feature works but that is the expected behavior. You want to preview the movie so we download the first and last pieces of the movie, not the cover, not the nfo...

Yes, it contains several files, no, those files are just a bunch of kbs, the space you covered with "Not multimedia files" is like 20-50MB.
That's just the "more pieces" in "Download first and last pieces first" feature.
