lament Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 I just did a test.1) created a new folder called "test"2) clicked on a torrent that's 711mb3) saved to Test folder and immediately right-clicked all files but 1 and chose Don't Downloadwatched as it downloaded only the 1 file.right clicked the folder > Properties, and it's the same size as the file I downloaded, + 956kb for the .dat file.I then removed the .torrent+data, and it removed everything except that 956kb .dat file.so yeah.. working fine here. removing the .dat file would be nice tho.

toe_cutter Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 There is no bug and no problem. You must be doing something wrong.Well, could we have the feature "pre-allocate skips skipped files" then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbb Posted October 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 still haven't gained back 1.2gigs, but the good news is that i have downloaded another file using utorrent and skipped all but one file. Then when finished, clicked on delete .torrorent and data. This time, only the file took space and not the dummy files. But one thing that's different between this download from the first one (the one that was 1.2gigs) is that i didn't run out of hard drive space with this torrent. Not sure if that has any difference. I guess something strange just happened with the first download resulting in losing 1.2gigs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lament Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 use this and see if you can track down the 1.2gb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
