How do I tell qBittorrent v4.3 to download files within a torrent sequentially? (files, not parts of files)

Normally qBittorrent will download many files simultaneously. Is there a way to tell it to use all bandwidth/connections to download one file and then move to the other?

Setting file priorities does help, but that's a lot of manual work, and two files with the same priority will be downloaded in parallel anyway.

This is not to start watching a video before it's downloaded fully! Its to finish downloading the 1 episode out of batch of 3.

Utorrent could do it easily, but new version of the program does not want to turn off ads fully as it did before, so i had to leave.

If there is absolutely no way qbittorrent can do this, please point me to a couple of other programs, small and fast, free, no ads.

UPD: BiglyBT have the needed features, but something in the interface that doesnt fit. I still hope to make qbittorrent do the trick, or try some other program.

Fast, entirely open source and ad-free and features packed 

And in my experience not small like qBittorrent but worth the compromise because of the features it provides

Compare features with other torrent clients
