When I first got emule, I didn't know anything about sparse files and I opted to check preview chunks so that I can see the files I download. Now my temp file is around 25GB (I have a 40GB hd on my laptop) and I've only downloaded probably only 1GB of that, the rest is empty space inbetween the start and end of the file. I have tried compressing the folder but everytime I do it, it freezes after about a minute of trying to compress and then the dialog says "not responding". I've tried doing it in safe mode also and it froze my pc, which caused me to do a cold boot and gave me a unmountable_boot_volume blue screen at startup which I fixed with chkdsk. Now I still am in need of disk space but don't know the best way to go about it. I am wary of trying to compress it again. Probably my last resort that I know of is to use WinRAR and determine which part files I am not immediately downloading and compressing those, which is definitely very inefficient. So how can I use NTFS comopression correctly without it freezing?
