Same problem here.

has happened with two seperate files, once was audio other time was video (if thats relevant).

both times has been when ive selected "Do not Download" from the priority menu.

i have over 25GB free, which was weird.

got round it the first time by jst restarting it each time, but was very annoying.

running a 2.1 GHz MacBook, OS X 10.5.6. 120GB HDD is not partitioned.

uTorrent Version 0.9.0.4 (13906)

Hey guys, Ive just been looking back through this forum and i too have had these problems. I have found a solution which works for people who dont want whole folders for whatever reason. My reasoning being a slow internet connection.

When downloading the torrent, dont deselect anything, and when the torrent starts, pick the files you wanted and set their priority to high. Then set everything else to low. You will download the desired files first with only small bits of the other files. Once you have all you want, stop the torrent and just take what you need from the download folder.

Hope this helps
