DogZillA Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 first off, nice client!except....disk space is a problem for me, lots of big files, not lots of big HDDs.i tinkered with setts (oops) and turned off diskio.sparse_files.apparently all my large files were allocated to hdd. not the whole 4.4Gigs, just every bit of every piece that was actively downloading..... it works out to be about 90% of the 4.4Gigs. multiplied x the 5 files i was working on.i changed the setts back and restarted client. i rechecked files and still no disk space.i have 20Gigs of allocated files and 5-10% are actually on my disks.i need to get rid of the allocated part of all these files without deleating the file parts actually downloaded.i trust that starting a 50M 'piece' isnt going to allocate that 50M to disk?

Firon Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Once the file is created, you can't set or unset the sparse file attribute. The only thing you can do is restart the torrent or suck it up and deal with the lost space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
