Research direction

Start by reviewing the webtorrent-cli command options and how version 3.2.1 handles files within a torrent. Determine how a folder-selection option should identify the requested files and verify that only that folder is downloaded. The issue names no files or tests, so the relevant entry point and validation steps must be located first.
