Both of the versions you mention are over 5years old. I suggest you install the latest version, it's functions are well documented both in the gui and at wiki.bitcomet.com.

If you insist on using a very old and outdated version, then version .70 is probably what you should get. It's much like your .62 version, but won't support any of the advanced features the newer versions have.

You can get the latest stable version at bitcomet.com, or any previous version from our archives (see link in my signature).

ps. Changing priority of files within a torrent really isn't a good idea. If all files are set to "normal", then your entire torrent will download using the most efficient method possible. By altering these settings you could be forcing BitComet to ignore "available" pieces while it attempts to get pieces that aren't being shared at that time (so you get nothing), causing your overall download to be slower. However, if your downloading an entire season of television shows (for example), setting the first episode to higher priority will make bitcomet "attempt" to download it fastest, so you can begin watching while the others download, so some people enjoy this option, just be aware that excessive use of this option slows down not only yourself, but also effects the entire swarm's efficiency.

You're not very clear what you mean by "priority". However, every version of BitComet will offer you 2 things:

1. Set priority for every file of the torrent by right-clicking on the file in the "Files" tab of the Detailed Info Pane.

2. Set the download order by choosing the Download order tab of the task properties dialog box.

That's what I was explaining to you in the previous post.

At some point (probably before v.0.85) the dev team thought that it would be better if there was the possibility to set a different priority for each file of a task.

Therefore, you now have to click on the Files tab and right-click in there on any of the torrent's file in order to set the priority for them.

That function (download order) was introduced in v.0.91 (33 versions ago) so it is not available in v.0.85 if you insist on using that.

I was referring to all the recent versions of BitComet (released in the last couple of years).

The option to set the relative priority of torrents (as opposed to individual files within a torrent) was removed.

Since the actual priority that you experience is determined by the swarms of each torrent, I can see why that option was thought to be useless. I certainly never saw it work effectively.

If you think about how such a feature would actually work, in terms of your client and its peers working on two different torrents, it really doesn't make much sense.
