Error not enough disk space

[chrisnz]

I am downloading a torrent made up of three 700mb files. I only have 900mb free on my download drive so selected _just_ the first file to download.

Whenever microtorrent attempts to get the last piece of the file it stops and reports the error in the torrent status column.

Pressing continue starts the torrent until the next time it tries to get the last piece.

If the hard drive is not NTFS it doesn't support sparse files. Sparse files or the usage of the partfile is needed to keep extra unwanted data and resolve the error.

Ctrl-P -> Advanced

diskio.sparse_files is FALSE by default

diskio.use_partfile is TRUE by default

[Firon]

some space is probably reserved on the drive anyway.

To prevent the error occurring again I freed up another 700mb space. The last piece of the file has been retrieved, I think.

The files tab in micro torrent shows one file priority normal, and two files priority skip. 122kb of the second file is listed as Done.

The directory containing the torrent files now contains two files at 700mb and one file at 108kb.

The size of each piece in the torrent is 128kb.

That sounds about right. Edge pieces are a bitch when partfiles are wonky.
