A 2nd DownLoad dir if/when the primary DL dir gets full
When you download a lot, sometimes the hard disk (download dir/folder) gets full.
The idéa: It should be more download (DL) directories! When the 1st DL-dir gets full, it should move the file file it was currently DL-ing to the 2nd DL-dir and continue DL-ing there. It could keep on doing this to the Xth DL-dir. (The next DL-dirs should of course be on different drives)
F. ex.:
1st download directory: C:\Program Files\DC++\Download
incomplete directory: C:\Program Files\DC++\Incomplete
<checkbox for enabling next DL-dir>
2nd download directory: D:\Download\DC
incomplete directory: D:\Download\Incomplete\DC
<checkbox for enabling next DL-dir>
Xth download directory: "X":\Download\DC
incomplete directory: "X":\Download\Incomplete\DC
Mkay?

Yes, I do organize. But when I'm away and DC++ is running, sometimes the disk gets full. Therefore I think it would be nice if DC++ would download to another free drive! What's so bad about that?GargoyleMT wrote:I think pausing all downloads when you won't have enough disk space to hold the completed file + some configurable breathing space is a better solution than overflowing.
You really should sort though, organize, and re-share good downloads... DC depends on that, to a large degree, to stay "healthy."

What's so bad about specifying a big enough HD to hold all your downloads? Come to think of it, I haven't seen an overflow download directory in Shareaza, Kazaa, WinMX, or Napster either....Rodga wrote:Yes, I do organize.
