Elbow Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Ok I just wanted to ask if anyone has a remedy / fix for this problem.Ive reinstalled windows and re-installed uTorrent and now I want to get all my half finished downloads back onto uTorrent.My problem is this, when I open up the torrent file uTorrent asks to save the file and i choose the folder I had previously saved it in.What I expect is it to save it and uTorrent will start checking it and then when its reached 100% it starts to resume the download.But I am getting a Not Enough Disc Space message.Could this be because even though Ive downloaded 25% of this file already, uTorrent still needs enough space on the hard drive for the entire size of the file?The file is 40GB Ive downloaded 10GB there is 35GB left on the drive. Do I still need to have 40GB of space for it to start checking and to resume?Is there anyway around this or will I have to move some files to another drive?Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 You should be able to say OK to the dialog "Not enough disk space, do you want to continue?" ... can't you?Keep in mind if the volume is FAT you will not be able to save files > 4 GiB in size.

Elbow Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 I found out the problem,In order to continue you still have to have the original file size free on the hard drive.I didnt so it couldnt continue.I had to remove some files to free up enough space and then it was ok.Learned something new anyway,thanks for your reply.

jewelisheaven Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 OUCH. What version is that in (Alt-H-A to find out)? In 1.8 I know you can just say OK to that dialog since you already have most of the data... and if you selective download you don't really need all that space.You can check out 1.8 if you wish from the Announcements forum. To keep it from messing with current settings you can run it self-encapsulated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 If it's telling you there isn't enough space, it just means there really wasn't. The filesystem told it to piss off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbow Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Can this be fixed so it doesnt do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 :/ No updates to uT aesthetically will happen on 1.7Please make sure it works correctly on 1.8 as I describe. I have to admit I rarely encounter this with my 2760 gigs of storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elbow Posted April 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Ive found with 1.8 Beta that when I restart the client it goes thru checking all the incomplete downloads again, takes ages and ages, this didnt happen with 1.7 as far as I can recall.

jewelisheaven Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 If you force quit the last time then yes. You need to let uT close gracefully... this is 10 seconds by default, which can be too little with alot of running torrents. In this case Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> bt.graceful_shutdown = TRUE will make uT wait for ALL this activity to complete before closing. This avoids checking when restarting but may take a minute or two to close out all pending network and disk IO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
