decisive Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 Alrite fellas, Last night i left the macbook downloading a 1gb torrent with azureus, when i woke up it had crashed (screen was asleep too so i couldn't see why) and upon restarting I found the file had downloaded but I also seem to have lost 5gb in free space. I can't find where it's being taken up, I've tried everywhere I can think of looking... anyone got any idea? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers go to versiontracker and download "whatsize" (freeware) and it will show you exactly where its gone. Also get rid of Azureus because it's shit and get bits on wheels.

decisive Posted December 18, 2006 Author Share Posted December 18, 2006 thanks, that software looks quite useful... i'm sure it must be different to the os's search tool although on first glance it looks rather similar... so i'll dig in and hopefully solve things also thanks for the bits on wheels recommendation, i'll check it out!

Liam Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Also get rid of Azureus because it's shit and get bits on wheels. uTorrent is now coming to OSX and Linux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decisive Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 bits on wheels is powerpc only so that's a no go... think i'll stick with azureus- other than being a bit slow on the redraw side of things it's fine... isn't it? what's utorrent better for?

It's 173KB and does everything you'd expect of a top notch torrent client. Very customisable too -the web interface is brilliant, I've installed a flash applet that gives me full graphical control over µT no matter where I am. Interestingly, Bram Cohen, the creator of the BitTorrent protocol and BitTorrent Inc has acquired µTorrent for 'the merits of µTorrent's exceptionally well-written codebase and robust user community'; which is why mac/linux versions are on the way. µT definately rules the roost for the time being, at least.

decisive Posted December 19, 2006 Author Share Posted December 19, 2006 eyes out for that one then. oh btw thanks homecounties, i used whatsize to find large files and it turned out that the crash had made an 8gb logfile somewhere... bingo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
