Hi, everybody. Sorry for not writing in Russian. I'm very new to mule/donkey and am very excited to have access to KVN files. I have a basic question. In eMule transfer window it shows that I'm downloading 10 files, largest download so far is 48Mb. All together these downloads are less than 150Mb. But under eMule\temp folder there are lots of files, taking 4Gb space!!! There are few files bigger than 600Mb. What are these files? If these are different parts of my KVN files (that I'm trying to download) then why are they so big? Does it mean that in order to get 150 Mb useful data I have to go throuth gegabytes? Is this normat? I'm running out of disk space Any help is appreciated. Thanks, David

Hi! When eMule receives first byte of data it allocates as much space of harddrive as it needed for the whole file.
