franpa Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 this is normal... as you initiated the torrent with all selected thus the space reserved is = to the whole torrent.... if you erase the files (not he torrent and force bitcomet to hash check it so that it starts again (at 0%) you will see that now that your initializing with only what you chose that the reserved space matches what you chose. (i got confused in that explanation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnUsual Suspect Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I will add to this explanations. if a file is only 1K in size, it may need parts from several "pieces" of the torrent. Example, parts 1, 4 and 8, each being 5k in size. Therefore you would need to download 15k in order to keep the 1k file. Since selecting files within a torrent is not a part of bit torrent protocall, but an enhansement added in some clients, this cannot be avoided.
