If you would like BitTorrent Mainline to let you select files to download before it actually adds the torrent job to the list, make sure you enable the Add New Torrent dialog. If BitTorrent Mainline adds files without asking you anything, then that’s because you set a default download location, and so BitTorrent Mainline assumes you would like to download everything to that directory. If you want BitTorrent Mainline to always show the dialog when you manually open a .torrent file, then make BitTorrent Mainline always show the dialog on manual add.
