What I do is enable "download first and last chunks first" and then run the .part file through mplayer after 5-10 MBs are completed.Usually that is enough to check what language the file is in and although that still wastes bandwidth and requires you to check your files periodically,it is still better than downloading the entire file and then finding out.Also many releases will have at least a group name or a crc(I think thats the right term) that you can check up through google.It should be pretty obvious that the file is a french release,if the results are all french pages.Also I have found that generally,the english releases will likely have less sources then the french and german releases,so don't just pick the one at the top of the list as its a good chance it won't be in english.
