just 2 issue while using got
Hi melbahja!
I got 2 issue while using got
, maybe we can improve
-
save disk space I use
got
to download a file from http server support range feature. the file size is about 8GB, so it take a moment to complete. while downloading, I find inC:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Temp\GotChunks{some digits}
directory, there are 40 chunk files,chunk-0 ~ chunk-39
. they are temp files to assemble the origin file, this means, my computer should have 16GB free disk space to complete the download progress, is there any way to optimize? I mean, sincegot
remove these chunk-i files after merge them together, but, if I don't have 16GB free disk space, the 8GB file can't be download. what if the the file is 200GB? I should first have 400GB free disk space, that's unreasonable. -
merge chunk files take a long time while all chunk files are downloaded,
got
didn't quit immediately, it take a while to merge these chunk files, after all chunk files merged,got
quit, and we got the origin file, all chunk files removed also. if the origin 8GB file, it take a momnet to merge, what if a 200GB file, how long will it take to merge chunk files? I don't know ifwget
orcurl
will suspended a moment while download progress bar reach 100%
thanks anyway!
Hi,
-
What I can do now is to delete the every chunk after the merge immediately, and download the first chunk into the dest file directly. (temporary fix until I figure out a real solution).
-
if got downloaded
chunk-1
,chunk-3
,chunk-4
, we can't mergechunk-3
untilchunk-2
is finished, I think the solution to this depends on issue 1.
thanks :)
the next major got version is optimized to fix this issue.
thanks a lot!
