So whenever I download lets say a siterip that contains 400 videos but I only choose to download 100 of them qbittorrent still shows me 400 files in the folder. The thing is 3/4 of the not downloaded files have no thumbnail and I can quickly delete them but the last 1/4 do have a thumbnail so its harder to spot them and delete em right away.
Why.

don't use qbittorrent

I dont like Deluge

I don't think selective downloading ever worked right in qbit

The way the bittorrent protocol splits data into chunks means that when downloading a selection of files, you'll sometimes get fragments of unselected files because the whole chunk is needed to complete a selected file.
Some clients save these partial chunks in one separate file, qbittorrent saves them normally.
If you want to find them more quickly, under options->downloads select "append .!qb extension to incomplete files"

Apparently it's due to libtorrent-rasterbar itself.

To add to this, the general place where "unwanted" files go is a hidden folder called ".unwanted" in the download folder.
