rtorrent selective downloading

How do I get rtorrent to selectively download files from a torrent instead of downloading everything? I RTFMed but still couldnt find anything.

It's after the "->" entry in the man page.

How to use it: in the File list press * once to turn everything off (it cycles normal/off/high). Depending on the directory structure you may want to press / to browse easier, and then you can press space twice for normal priority or once for high priority, if you were on a directory node it will change the priority of everything inside even if you can't see it (go in to the directory with the arrow keys to see it).

Sorry for bringing this back from the dead, but just thought it might help someone:

In the File List view you can hit * (asterisk) to toggle all files Off/High/Normal, and then select the ones you need.

Aw, I wish I had discovered that sooner. Until now I just used spacebar to toggle state on every file. Thank you
