Alterah Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Ok, let me clarify the subject a little bit. I noticed that when I begin downloading say, a 5 GB file, my computer will automatically allocate that space for the torrent. So, basically even if I have downloaded only 1% of the file, if I right click and go to properties, the size it reports is 5GB. I didn't know if this is common or a torrent thing. Thanks for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Because of the non-linear nature of torrent downloading, this is normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moogly Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Preferences > General > When DownloadingPre-allocate all files tells µTorrent to create and fully allocate every file you select to download immediately after starting the torrent job. Note that this option does not have an impact on hard drive fragmentation (advantageous or otherwise), as µTorrent already allocates each file upon writing to disk even without this option.
