About the space reserved by qBittorrent

Hello, everyone.

I’ve set qBittorrent to reserve disk space during downloads.

Based on the following screenshots,

will the download still fill up the disk?

So will the free space continue to decrease?

Or has the space already been reserved by qBittorrent,

meaning I’m not running out of space?

Best regards.

Respectfully,

Dany.

Pre-allocation is only needed when the filesystem cannot manage fragmented files… All modern filesystems do that gracefully and this option is unnecessary : therefore, the available space shown is the actual available space on your disk and, indeed, decreases as your downloads complete.

Thanks.

I was just wondering about that.
