vaynardx Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I havent had this problem until v.1.8 came. In 1.7.7, when I download a certain torrent, the torrent is already allocating the torrents size IMMEDIATELY to the directory it was saved in. What I mean is that when Im downloading a torrent, say its 1gb, it will register 1gb immediately to the drive it was saved even though the torrent is still not finished yet. Now comes 1.8, when I try to download the torrent it doesnt allocate the 1gb anymore, instead it only registed 1gb AFTER the torrent has been downloaded. Need help on this one because I only have limited storage space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 diskio.sparse_files is set to what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted August 18, 2008 Report Share Posted August 18, 2008 I believe v1.8 has a sparse file feature in advanced settings...that you'll probably want to disable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaynardx Posted August 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 It is set to true. What should I do to make it work like the 1.7.7 version? Should I set it to false? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 Set it to false and it'll work like 1.7.7. But it will only apply to new torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
