Download the .torrent file.<\/p>\n<p>2. Start the entire torrent. In the Content panel, immediately deselect all the torrent&#8217;s files.<\/p>\n<p>3. Now filter the file set for &#8220;128kb.mp3&#8221; or whatever other standard naming you have in the set for the highest-quality audio files.<\/p>\n<p>4. Shift-select all these filtered files, so that they&#8217;re highlighted. Don&#8217;t attempt to tick them all (there may be hundreds). Instead right-click them as a selected block and set them to priority &#8220;Normal&#8221;. qBitTorrent will now consider the files &#8220;ticked&#8221; and active.<\/p>\n<p>5. Start the torrent.
