ICleolion Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Why have you turned sparse_files on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyosung Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Actually wait... What exactly does that option do?From FAQ:is a function available only on drives partitioned as NTFS (2k/XP/2003). When this is turned on, files will only allocate what data they have written. However, this does increase fragmentation, but it will save space while you are downloading files. It doesn't work with pre-allocate.I guess I have it on due to the part of 'save space'...But if it isn't needed then I'll turn if off(Default).

ICleolion Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 If you have plenty of space then turn it off, cuz having this option on will just increase fragmentation on your harddrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyosung Posted May 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 Oh... Alright then, thanks on that part.But asides form the advanced setting change of 'sparse_files' for the other settings best leave at default for the speeds i provided in first post?
