FuzzyPlums Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hi all,Just tried uTorrent for the first time & it's a great but...As soon as I start to download a file (say the size is 4 GB) it straight away wipes 4 GB off my hard drive, even if the download has just started & only 1% complete. Also I checked my download folder & the torrent is there with their files showing & adding up to 4 GB, if I right click on the file & in properties it shows up as 4 GB...is this normal with uTorrent?I've only got about 10 GB empty on my hard drive so I normally have manage any downloads carefully, burn them to disk & delete them from my HD. As it stands if I started to download 3 torrent files, within minutes that 10 GB would be down to zero even though realistically I've only downloaded a few megs.Sorry if this question has been asked before, did a search but couldn't find any threads relating to this....ta very much for any help.

ffjason Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 uTorren must be set to "pre-allocate the files" - i would keep this feature turned on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!It reduces fragmentation massively!!!!!!!Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 ffjason: that option actually has zero impact on reducing fragmentation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
