Disk Space - tech question

[nailatixela]

Hey everybody,

I've gotten the hang of torrents within the past month and have been downloading more shows now. However, I've run quite low on Disc Space on my C drive after all this downloading.

Hoping someone has had this problem before or knows what to do - are there any easy ways that I can get a good amount of disk space on my computer? What have others done?

TIA

the torrents to the usually preferred 1.5 ratio - then you can delete the torrent's files (After you burned the files to CDR) from your drive to create Disc Space (Which is what I am doing at this exact moment).

Thanks very much! I deleted ones that I was done seeding and had already burned - gave me space for some more. You rock - can't thank you enough!

that helped you out.

Remember the common courtesy in torrent downloading is reaching the 1.5 ratio - once you reach that you can delete those files (Unless you feel like helping out others if a torrent has a small number of seeders) and free up space.

Good luck.
