Hail everybody
Here is the idea : When I download some really big files ( I do musical project by internet )  I have hard times knowing if everything will have enough space on hard disk ( I enabled the option to left 5Gb free on hard disk but it's not the point )
Since files are downloaded chunck by chunck I never know how much MBytes will there be more on hard disk when downloads will be finished
I bet this shouldn't be too hard to program ( it just need to add size rmaining for each file ). Can I hope to see this in aMule 2.2.0 ?

[Absurdität]

No answer 
I may be a bit noob but I don't think it's neither one of the Features not to request nor an already implemented feature nor an already discussed one
So please answer me

[skolnick]

yep, I would also like this added to the statistics tree, just like eMule has. I have no clue if it's difficult or not (I hope not ) but it would be really useful. This is maybe the only eMule feature I miss on aMule.

Thanks!

Actually, we need to show the total size left to allocate, not transfer, which is a bit more complicated.
However, I'll take a look at it.

[skolnick]

Yeah Xaignar, you are right. I think it's harder to implement because of the different filesystems aMule has to support (NTFS, ext2/3, FAT, etc). But thanks for thinking about this posibility.

Regards.

No, he was talking about something different actually. That amount of space the partially downloaded file takes is the position of the last data that was saved in the file for transfer.

[Xaignar]

Hm?
Given that we want the needed amount of free disk-space, we'll have to look at how much is actually allocated. On *nix with a filesystem supporting sparse files, that does not correspond to the position of the last write. However, you can get the number of allocated blocks by using stat, which on *nix returns the number of allocated 512b blocks in the variable st_blocks.

[Kry]

Both true.
