i'd like to see some totals for sizes on active torrents...

in the status bar at the bottom, i'd like to see some totals for:

total KB/MB/GB queued to d/l (active leech torrents only, seeding/queued seed not counted)

total KB/MB/GB downloaded (active leech torrents only, seeding/queued seed not counted)

effectively allowing calculation of:

KB/MB/GB remaining to download (and hence ETA at global d/l speed)

disk space remaining on download drive

this way i know whether im gonna be out of space if i leave the PC over the weekend..

at the moment i have to add the columns up manually, and calculate size*percentage to work out how much is completed. its a lot of work with calc.exe and a pain in the ass

I already requested that too but some people seem to think its not needed when you can check what you drive(s) have left by opening the explorer or right-clicking the partitons, etc..

For me though the lack of this feature is still the biggest bother in µTorrent, i really hope ludde (the author) will add that at some point as its really a very useful feature for many of us. Other clients have it too and IMO every reason to use a different client just because of one or two features people might be used to should be wiped out to get everyone to use the best BT client ever.

"disk space remaining on download drive"

Under Preferences -> Torrents there's an option to pre-allocate files.

From FAQ:

"Turning on this option will prevent compact storage and sparse files from working, however. Pre-allocate no longer allocates all files when skipping files, only the ones you choose.

There is little use to pre-allocate except for making sure you have enough space when starting a torrent. It does NOT reduce fragmentation as compared to not using it, since µTorrent ALWAYS allocates the full file when writing to prevent fragmentation, regardless of if pre-allocate is on (unless you use compact storage or sparse files)."

Still, it would be nice to see the remaining disk space.
