I think this is more of a thing the OS should handle since its more of a file system specialty.
For example, why do you want extra room saved? For administrative purposes? You should set quotas in windows, or find better quota utilities that can reserve usage like ext filesystems do for root on Linux.

I would recommend that you always use an exact predefined amount of space for your swap file, and never to have it dynamic.

So in other words you want specific applications to have higher priority to your hard drive space than other applications. Easiest way to separate the hard drive space each application can utilize is to use separate partitions. Then only tell DC++ to save in one partition, but everything else for the game in the other.

Why do I have the feeling that I will get hours of entertainment out of you trying to do this?
