Is this feature supported by current Transmission yet?

Not in the official transmission releases:

• Add: "Continuous download" and "Download first +last part first" transmission/transmission#540 (comment)
• https://github.com/transmission/transmission/wiki/Can-I-sequence-the-files-I-download

I'm not sure if it worth to be added here, there is a reason why it's not officially implemented.

@chapay10 Is it possible to add this option to add torrent dialog? Something like this:

Come on! All the discussions about "swarm health" are highly theoretical. Many bittorrent clients have this options, in fact, I know only transmission (if we talk about client/server clients) which does not have it officially.
BUT. Even if you are still unsure, removing this option from GUI adds NOTHING to the swarm health: user could use it only if it already installed forked transmission. So he already can set check mark "download sequentially" from web interface: go to ip:9091 and call context menu. That is what I do all the time. Allowing this option in GUI will just make the life of those people with forked transmission a little easier, nothing more.
If you sill unsure you could hide this option if daemon does not support it, so innocent leeches won't even know it exists.
I don't know what else can push you to do it.

It is a pity that this is still not implemented, this is a very important functionality for home media servers.

Suggested change

	cbSequential.Hint:='Your transmission is not supported';
	cbSequential.Hint:='Sequential download is not supported by your Transmission version.';

[PeterDaveHello]

@dredkin you're right, maybe just hide it would be very nice. Just curious, what are the forks with this enhanced function you guys are using?

[kusalk]

No need to use a fork, this functionality has been implemented in the official client and will be released in 4.1.0.
