i've been using 1.43 on windows 10, 64 bit. No issue. problem seems to have been fixed. just started using 1.44 on windows 10, 64 bit today. No issue as well. tested with existing torrents and newly added torrents.

full respect for the mods and developers who contribute their own time towards open source development. thank you!

here's another clue: go to this directory C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\BitComet\torrents pick a torrent for testing. open the XML file that has the same name as the torrent. in version 1.41, when i unselect a file, the xml element "\\Bitcomet\FileList\FileEntry" will have an attribute priority="-1" in version 1.42, when i unselect a file, the xml element "\\Bitcomet\FileList\FileEntry" will have an attribute priority="-4294967295" in version 1.42, as long as bitcomet doesn't get restarted, it will still remember the file selections. i'm guessing when it restarts, somewhere in the program is reading the xml file and looking for possible values of "-1" or "1" or "2" etc, but actual value is something else, so it just took the default which is to select the file.

i've been using 1.41 since 2 days ago. i've added new torrents and tested it according to the steps i've posted above. i haven't gotten the same problem since. versions i've used: 1.40 --> 1.42 --> 1.41 (sticking with this for now) directory: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\BitComet\torrents i guess this is where file selections within torrents are stored. each torrent will have its own XML file. maybe the version with problem isn't saving the file selections at all. once bitcomet gets restarted, the torrent reverts back to default selection which is to select all files.

1.41 doesn't seem to show the same behavior, it's saving the file selections within a torrent. same behaviour as per version 1.40.

i've tried bitcomet 1.42 on windows 10 (64 bit), had the same issue. steps to replicate it, hope this helps to pin down the bug: 1. uncheck a few files in a torrent. 2. start the download 3. exit bitcomet via the "exit" icon. (stopping the task or not before exiting doesn't make a difference) 4. start up bitcomet 5. as soon as you click on the torrent at step one, the unchecked files will be selected again. it seems like bitcomet has "forgotten" the checked/unchecked files after a restart. i've downgraded back to version 1.40 for the time being, and it doesn't show the same behaviour. i haven't tried version 1.41
