Rael Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 I'm downloading a bunch of torrents but some of these are really slow and are going to take days or weeks, but in the mean time they are taking a bunch of disk space. is there a way to only use disk space for what has actually been downloaded? By the time these get done I will have freed up space by burning to disk and deleted the torrents that downloaded fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 You can turn on diskio.sparse_files in the Advanced section of the preferences. But this option doesn't work right on Vista (due to a bug in Vista). Unfortunately, it will only apply to newly downloaded files, not ones that already exist.I do hope you're seeding your torrents before removing them from your client.
