Title: Bit Torrent problem. Anyone help?
Post by: EA on October 21, 2004, 02:39:06 PM
I was in the process of downloading a Garcia/Grisman DVD from easytree and about half way through it my hard drive got filled up so I had to stop the download to clear some space. Now when I try to restart the torrent, I get a "permission denied" error. Since I already have almost 2 gigs of the 4 gigs downloaded, I REALLY don't want to start over if I can help it. Any thoughts on what might be fucking it up? If it helps any, the torrent is located here:

make sure your recycle bin is empty.  then reboot.  Then try to reconnect.  Also with easytree you can't save the .torrent file and reconnect that way...  You have to DL a new one each time you connect...

You are not alone, there seems to be some form of error-caching,

Reboots fix many things in life, I wish I could reboot myself sometime   ;)

BT should allocate the needed file space before it completes.

BT should allocate the needed file space before it completes.

some bt programs do this, but not all.  i'm a fan of the ones that don't.  i can have 4 bt's going at the same time and making room for them as they go, rather than taking the time to make room or just downloading one at a time.
