I'm not sure which bug you're describing here. Is it the same as
#102978, which I see you found? That bug occurs when you leave all
files selected, selective downloading is not needed to reproduce it.
Or, are you having another issue with selective downloading that is
not related to #102978?

Selecting a single file for download will not work, as BitTornado (by
design) deletes all files not selected for download when the download
completes. This is necessary due to the pieces in BitTorrent crossing
file boundaries.

The work around that works for me when a download fails like this is
just to restart it (I leave all the files selected, as I don't use
selective downloading). It almost instantly gets the last piece or 2
it was missing, and then starts seeding. It's not ideal, but I have
been unable to find the cause of this problem (or even whether it's
caused by bittornado or torrentflux).
