I'd take Selection > Size any day. I will be downloading the entire collection regardless and seeding. Forgot to say thanks for everyone who has contributed to this, your hard work and time is greatly appreciated.

The reason the size matters is its more to download to help seed, if you only download certain files then the whole torrent wont be seeded.

While I do agree with your statement, it's unlikely all downloaders, especially those with poor connections would be seeding anyway. Even in those who download the entire collection, there will be few who will stay and actually seed. I wasn't in any way saying that's the way to go about doing it - by only downloading some and not all. I was really only talking directly to those who either have horrible connections or are seriously THAT limited on space. Have you seen the current state of torrents in general? You're lucky if 1/4 of most users seed after downloading.

I have no problem waiting. These new shows added are likely extremely rare so these will DEFINITELY be worth it.

I completely agree. A few more shows are definitely worth the wait and extra space. To everyone who is complaining about the size of it, you must to be new to torrents altogether. I understand there are some clients where you can't, but in most, you can select each show you want to download. If you do use a client where you don't have the option of selecting the individual files then install one for just this torrent alone, uTorrent is fine for it. Why anyone would be upset about the uploader adding MORE SELECTION to choose from, makes absolutely no sense to me. If you don't want them all and only want 1GB worth, then select 1GB worth of shows and "skip" the rest. You don't HAVE to download the whole thing at once as you can download as many or as little as you want, this goes for users with lower bandwidth/speeds as well. There's really no excuse these days to not have even 1TB of free space given how cheap space is now, on NewEgg you can buy 2 TB (2,000 GB) for $80-$100 with free shipping.
