rTorrent Partial Download

I have rTorrent running on the headless box I have in my closet, and I'm pretty happy with rTorrent and Screen.
Today however, I found a torrent from which I only need some of the files, Transmission and the like give you a nice dialogue screen to select the files. rTorrent, however, does not.
How do I tell rTorrent to download only a few certain files?
I've tried google, but to no solution.

Just choose the torrent and press the right arrow.

then go to file list section then right arrow again, chose the file you don't want and press the space bar. you'll have 3 choices: high/normal (blank)/off. chosing off will stop the download of the file.

Thanks, it seems so simple in hindsight.

Re: rTorrent Partial Download

Is there anyway to make rTorrent automatically set the priorities on startup?
