Deluge fails to download only selected files

[nanomachine]

When telling Deluge to download only certain files available from a torrent, it downloads more than that.

How did you set the file priorities on this torrent? It looks like you may be downloading all of the torrent judging by the Size column. Do you have debug logs?

Where are the debug logs for Deluge? I just tried this again telling Deluge to download only one file this time, and it downloaded several. I uploaded screenshots to show what I'm talking about.

Are you not able to reproduce this bug?

Run deluge with debug logging level. If you're using classic mode, then do this: deluge -L debug or if you're using the daemon/client mode, start the daemon with debug logging: deluged -d -L debug

How are you setting the file priorities? Through the files tab or through the add torrent dialog? Do you see any errors in the logs?

I concur with damoxc that this is not a bug. The screenshot shows a large number of small files where overlapping pieces is bound to occur.
