Hello and, first of all, thank you for your simple and lightweight torrent client.
I almost always use the "Sequential Download" option found in each torrent's Option tab. It is slightly cumbersome to tick this checkbox every time I add a new torrent.
Would it be possible to have a checkbox in the Preferences menu which, if ticked, would automatically set all newly added torrents to "Sequential Download"?
Thank you very much for your effort that has gone into this application.

Hi! Yeah, of course for the most of people it's more convenient to always download files sequentially, but I haven't put this option in the Preferences dialog on a purpose to force users to enable it only when they really need it. The sequential download is very bad for file sharing - BitTorrent protocol is designed it such way that peers always try to download rarest parts of a torrent to help spreading of the torrent, and the sequential download breaks this idea.
