The torrent protocol is quite happy for you to only download and seed some files within a torrent, it's just that the most popular client for it isn't very good at managing very large archives.

I'm guessing there's probably an alternative client that is better at this, can anyone tell me what it is? If there isn't one I'll make one, but I don't want to burn a weekend duplicating something that already exists...
