anonymous_ Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I'm constantly downloading stuff so it sometimes gets hard to keep track of space, one day it might be 50GB free, the other 1GB. And since most of this space is used up by torrents, then it would make sense to put in some kind of meter to show how much space there is left on the target drive. This is a mockup I made:what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 that could be in the statusbar too..to the left of "DHT: xxx nodes"also it could be similar to the download progress for each torrent.. the same in size and in the middle saying "DriveLetter: xxGB" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 That graph leaves little space for people with multiple drives ;o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymous_ Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 It's just a mock-up, it might ask you what drives to display or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Ultima, i thought of that too..the solution is: only stats for the partition where the selected torrent is downloaded will be shown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 That severely limits the actual usefulness of the graph. I'd presume one might want that graph to see how much space is in each hard drive, so to select which drive to download into. If you have to go around clicking each and every torrent to check every drive, it sounds like more work than just going to My Computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dAbReAkA Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 u're right.. anyways, there has to be a way to determine how much space is avaiable in the status bar.. knowing the number of drives to be displayed, uT can calculate the width accordingly, so that they all fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubberkitty Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I would love to have this feature but, have an option with a meter to show how much room and how much needed for current downloading torrents.Like in cd/dvd burner programs where you add data and usually they have a meter of how big the cd/dvd is and if you've gone over allotted disk space.

Joakim_A Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 In the emule client for the ed2k network that I am using there already is such a function but even more usefull. In that client in its preferences you can set a specific lower limit on HD space that you allow. If the space then drops below this value the client then automatically stops all downloads and their progressbars get a yellow/black striped color like a wasp informing you that you are out of space for the downloads. Me personally have set this limit to 3GB.Very handy function that I would like to be added to µTorrentWhen it comes to a HDD space meter I dont think it is neccessary for a fancy big graphic for it. Instead all drives and their space could be listed in the connection status bar at the bottom of µTorrents window about 50% of that area is now just empty so there is room there.
