No, and this is done on purpose to discourage everyone from toggling it en mass, as it would degrade the quality of the swarms. |

it's sad to hear, is it possible to turn it on with console / command prompt commands? |

It is what it is. In the general case, torrents were meant to be downloaded randomly, to promote a more diverse piece distribution in the swarm, and thus improve its resilience. libtorrent, which is what qBittorrent uses, already switches to sequential download automatically regardless of that checkbox, if it determines that the swarm is healthy enough. You can observe this when downloading a known well-seeded torrent, such as an Ubuntu ISO. |

If that's your position then why does qbittorrent even have it? It's not like I'm not gonna do it anyway. Besides alle the other major clients has this feature. |

I can see this download by sequential order option and I need to click on it each time from the dd menu.
Are there any hidden settings to turn it on by default and download all media torrents with it turned on?
thanks
