johanx2 Posted November 25, 2013 Report Share Posted November 25, 2013 Hi, I was just wondering if there's a way to know how many space in disk the active/queued downloads are going to take. For example, I just added 20 torrents, I have no idea how many space in disk they are going to take, therefore I can't be sure if I can add more downloads (this is critic when your hard drive is almost full). I can open the calculator and make the calculations one by one, but doing this is very frustrating, for this reason I need to know if is there any option to do this in a simple way. Most download managers tells you the global progress of all downloads and how many space they are going to take, why torrent managers don't ? Thanks!

johanx2 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2013 I don't want to be ungrateful, Utorrent is my baby, but please look at this! this is what I was looking for! Can you please add this essential thing to utorrent ? We will really appreciate it! Today I'm so happy because now I don't feel blind anymore when downloading my torrents.

However the original point of uTorrent was to NOT have such 'features' that only add to the resource footprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johanx2 Posted November 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2013 Thanks, then I will continue using Vuze client for a while, I am sure Utorrent will eventually improve with this feature. It's just amazing knowing how much space my downloads are going to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
