Dellius Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Mac OS X is reading my disk space improperly. I should have about 11 GB free space and instead Mac OS shows me I have only 1.92 GB available. I started a download today with Transmission. Size - 10.5 GB. When I use Get Info on the file's folder, Mac OS shows me the folder is as big as 10.5 GB. Transmission on the other hand shows me it has downloaded only 500 MB out of the total 10.5 GB and warns me I am running out of space. Help me fix this, please.

The Baron Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 That's normal. Transmission (and every other client) allocates the necessary space for the download (so you don't run out of space halfway through). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellius Posted October 18, 2008 Author Share Posted October 18, 2008 Why does Transmission warn me I am running out of space then ? Finder shows me I have 1.81 GB available right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaronz8 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Maybe because its warning you not to add any more downloads. btw 1.81 GB isn't a lot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dellius Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thank you for your reply, aaronz8. Here is the exact message Transmission shows me. Finder now shows me I have only 1.01 GB available space. However, the file is now at 74.53% complete and things are running smooth so far. I am still worried why Transmission is telling me it needs more disk space. Tell me, please, why this is happening and how I can fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
