In this scenario, you just point your client to the files you have already downloaded and it will check them and only download what it needs.

The other scenario is if you intentionally only want certain files and not others. I do this all the time when checking torrents for lossy files. You just click on the torrent in your client window, go to the tab that shows the files, then right click and set the priority at "Do not download" for the files you don't want.
