Thank you for this incredible feedback. I've just added your suggestion of Shift+Click to select ranges of partial downloadable files in a torrent. Here's the patch if you're curious, thanks for making a difference in the product experience for everybody out there https://github.com/frostwire/frostwire/pull/1085/files

Crashes minutes after launching. Absolute garbage application. Better off using a competitors app.
