Function to reserve free space...

Post by tekko »

Would it be a good idea to have a function to reserve a certain amount of free space? Right now the torrents won't be paused until the disk is totally full. It causes problem for people that are downloading to the OS partition for example.

you could do some kind of percent free based safety check if there is less then say 20% freespace but still enough to complete the torrent warn the user and if the user choses to ignore the warning force preallocation ON for that torrent

Open an issue in github with the details, append [WISHLIST] at the begining of the name, it´s easier to track...

EDIT: Only open one if "Options > Downloads > Pre-allocate space on disk for all files" doesn´t work or it´s not what you want...

I've requested the feature over there a long time ago... and pre-allocation is not what I wanted.

Thanks though.
