very situational solution

Feedback Type:  Review

Product Platform: MacOSX

Used Product For: Less than a month

Recommend Product: NO

It works and it works fine. Many great features and a nice user interface.
But one huge backdraw: It always pre-allocates the full disk space that a torrent will take. So if you plan to download 4 torrents, each 20 GB of size, it will allocate 80 GB before even starting to download anything at all. This "feature" is hard code and cannot be disabled, sadly a no-go for me.

No, it doesn't work like this for every client. Most of the other clients allocate hard disk space when needed, not everything in advance. There is no real need for it.
