bluelol Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 The problem I'm having is utorrent is fully allocating partial files I marked as Don't Download prior to starting the torrent. So a 1mb partial download of a 1gb video uses the full 1gb of harddrive space. Used to be those extra unwanted bits were simply stored in the uTorrentPartFile. I don't know if this is a bug or if my settings somehow got jacked up. I have pre-allocate all files set off. This is only an issue where a torrent piece is shared between wanted & skipped files. I had to turn on the append .!ut due to it triggering on old torrents I'm already seeding. Any help fixing would be appreciated.

bluelol Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 It is now, thanks. Totally forgot about some of the advanced options. Still a bit curious why it was reset, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelol Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I see this only fixes new torrents. Is there anyway to fix current torrents? I've deleted the partial files & uTorrentPartFile file, force recheck, then completed the download, but it still regenerated the huge part files. Theres gotta be a workaround. Those partfiles are chewing up a few hundred gbs of space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 They don't chew the space if they're set to be sparse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluelol Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 They're definitely chewing space & its set to sparse. Restarted utorrent to be sure it was taking effect.

bluelol Posted February 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 You're right. Size was 21gb but size on disk is 98mb >.<Still, any chance I can get that 98mb into the single uTorrentPartFile? Right now its spread throughout 26 incomplete files. If I didn't turn on "append .!ut" then I'd mistake them for 26 800mb files. Its a huge torrent with a lot of huge files and the part files make it hard to manage the files I want. Otherwise, I'll have to stop seeding and delete the numerous unwanted files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
