Chunks folder over 12 Gigs?

I have been trying to download a file for hours now and I keep running out of space. the chunks folder items keep consuming up all of my harddrive space. I am on a limited 128Gig SSD.

Why is this folder using so much space?

How big is the set of files you're downloading?

How many incomplete files are there?

Normally as each file is assembled, its chunks are deleted. So you either have a bunch of files that aren't assembling so, the chunks are remaining or something else.

Are the chunks for the files you're downloading or for old downloads? If they're for old downloads, you can just delete them.

Two files totalling 14 gigs.


I cant tell if there are incompletes. ALl the files have red and gray in them and they remain at downloading status

Red = failed. If you look in the logging tab, more than likely you're getting 430 errors meaning the server is saying "not on server anymore". How old are they?

You can right click the set and "Assemble Incompletes" to force Newsbin to assemble them. Normally it'll do this automatically if it thinks there is enough data to repair. It sounds like this download is in bad shape.
