Ultima Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 How much free space do you have on your computer?
jewelisheaven Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Another Win98 user Switeck and rafi would be proud
skiro Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 I have 1,5 GB and it used to be enough to take home the 700 GB files.
jewelisheaven Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 >< Hmm Are you sure you're not using any extra features like pre-allocate or compact allocation?
skiro Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 I don´t know what that is. All I did was upgrade when I was promted to do so when I opened utorrent. Where can I check the things you suspect is wrong?
jewelisheaven Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Possible problems with space.. OK in Preferences (Ctrl-P)Starting at the top... General - nothing; Downloads - "other settings" pre-allocate all files; Connection, BitTorrent Queueing, Scheduler, Other - Nothing; Advanced - bt.compact_allocation AND diskio.* options, what are they set to?
skiro Posted February 13, 2008 Author Report Posted February 13, 2008 bt.compact_allocation is set to falseThere are five diskio. 1, 2, 3 and 5 are set to true and 4 is set to false.In Downloads pre-allocate all files is not checked.In connection checked are: Enable upn...., Enable nat..., Add utorrent... 23746 is the port. Max upload 200.In Bittorrent: 200, 50, 4. All checked but Limit local peer... IP host name is empty. Ougoing is disabled.Queueing: 8, 5. Ratio 150 %, ignore, both boxes unchecked. 4 in gray.Scheduler: Enable scheduler is not checked.
jewelisheaven Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 :/ There's not enough disk space. Be sure to check that you didn't start other downloads already.. without sparse files, which aren't even available pre Win2K... any torrent with data you downloaded 0.1% of already allocated that space. Double check in your torrent list for downloading but stopped torrents at > 0% with ANY data downloaded. You'll have to delete those files.If there aren't any, then I'm out of ideas sorry
skiro Posted February 14, 2008 Author Report Posted February 14, 2008 Nope that wasn´t it. Anyway thanks.
AllGamer Posted February 14, 2008 Report Posted February 14, 2008 there's no problem with Win98 as long as the file is smaller than 2 Gbso most likely the Drive you have configured uT to store the Torrent files are running out of space.make sure you have enough empty space on that driveand do not use that drive for the SWAP file.
WonderGamer Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I'm starting to have this issue as well.System: Windows XP Home EditionFile System: FAT32Size of File: 4.18 GBSpace on HD: Over 61 GBI have been able to download files using uTorrent on this hard drive over 4 GBs before, but just started happening. I have Norton Protected Recycle Bin, but cleared it when I started having the problem. Nothing else is being downloaded to this hard drive over uTorrent. Any suggestions?
Firon Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 It's been mentioned many times before that you can't save files over 4GB on FAT32 partitions. You MUST convert to NTFS.
jewelisheaven Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 If you are FAT.. you CANNOT SAVE FILES larger than 4 GiB
WonderGamer Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I do have my main drive as NTFS. I guess my only option is to download it to that drive, then transfer over. Funny that I was able to download a 4.9 GB file to my FAT32 drive just 2 nights ago. And not once, but twice. o.O
jewelisheaven Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 You're mistaken if you think you did that. FAT32 has NO CAPABILITY in the formatting for 4 GiB files.It's all over the KB.
WonderGamer Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 I'm afraid I'm not mistaken. I was able to do this with no problem & a 2.9 GB file before that. Not sure what the issue is, but I don't think it has to do with actual size. I'm a computer technician, but a complete nub when it comes to torrents.
jewelisheaven Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 FAT does not have the capability for handling files larger than 4 GiB. Stop trolling.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310525http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314463http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_Allocation_TableYou cannot create a file larger than (2^32)-1 bytes (this is one byte less than 4 GB) on a FAT32 partition.
WonderGamer Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Ah. I see what it was. Torrent I downloaded before was over 4 GB but was in multiple file. My mistake.Like I said, I'm a complete Torrent nub. :-P
jewelisheaven Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 K then So maybe for this file that you know won't fit you can right click, advanced, set download location and change it to the NTFS drive.. or when you are ADDING the torrents (Ctrl-D) which you know are single files > 4 GiB you can tell uT to save them there as well.
