Is there a way to set priorities per file in a given torrent? The files tab only lets me change the names of files and has no other option. If not, is there other software that will do this?
Ubuntu – Set individual file priority (single torrent): Transmission

Transmission stores your torrent files in your standard config folder, at ~/.config/transmission/torrents where ~ is your home folder.
The .config folder is usually hidden. To get there, open the File Browser and go to your home folder. Choose View > Show Hidden Files in the menu, then look for ".config". In that folder you'll find transmission, and the rest should be pretty straight-forward. (By the way, to find a file in a long list you can just start typing its name).
The torrent folder contains every current torrent, and it includes torrents downloaded from magnet links as well. You can just open those with another client and it will work right away.
Remember to turn Show Hidden Files back off later on, or you'll see a lot of strange looking files:
For the GTK+ client, all settings are kept in ~/.config/transmission
For the Daemon, all settings are kept in ~/.config/transmission-daemon
For the CLI, all settings are kept in ~/.config/transmission-cli
The default download folder is ~/Downloads
The transmission torrents file is located in ~/.config/transmission/torrents

Deluge has that option to give priorities(like high,low,normal) to individual files inside the download file. You can install deluge from software centre or from terminal with this command
