Help

Look, my C drive has 4GB left and D drive with 100GB left
I try to download stuff more than 4GB and it wouldnt work since the file would be corrupted due to the lack my space in my C Drive since the Temporary Internet files are located in my C Drive. Now i need help to make my downloads not to take space away from my C drive instead, I want it to take it away from my D Drive so I can download files with size bigger than 4GB
And how do I do that? I want to move the Temp files to D drive
Answer #1
Why don’t you simply download files directly to the D drive?
Answer #2
because even though i download to the d drive, it takes the space from c drive and after the download it regains back the space taken away while downloading….
Answer #3
Why don’t you transfer the temp files to the D drive and then change your settings in whatever program you use to download so that the rest of it will be targeted to download in the D drive.
Answer #4
Doesnt work even if I did that
Answer #5
What are your C and D drives ? ? ? . . . Separate hard-drives or some kind of partitions, or some kind of an external hard drive. . . . And how big is each – total size – and what OS is installed
Answer #6
what do you mean??
Answer #7
Is the C-drive one HD, and the D-drive a totally separate HD ? ?
What is the total size of these two HD’s ? ?
What’s running – – winXP or Vista ? ?
Answer #8
Its different HD and the C Drive has 20GB and D Drive has 200GB, I am running on WinXP
Answer #9
I’ve had this problem before. Honestly, if you’ve got 2 partitions, back-up everything you can and repartition. If not, install your OS on the bigger drive, and install the bulk of your programs on the smaller one. Do NOT try to repartition your primary partition, 75% of the time it WILL FAIL.
CATASTROPHICALLY!
Answer #10
When you download, what software do you use – – Internet Explorer, Firefox, or some Download manager
Answer #11
Nono…dont get this too complicated, I just want to move my temp files to D drive so whenever I DL it doesnt take space from my C Drive
I use IDM (Internet DL Manager)
Answer #12
BTW, I am puzzled. . . You say the C is 20gb and the D is 200gb, and that they are separate hard drives. . . . But, one rarely finds small 20gb hard drives around any more. . . . My suspicion is that you may have just one hard drive, but just different foldrs
Answer #13
I am not familiar any more with IDM, as I have use FlashGet for years. . . To me, FlashGet is far better and simpler, and now free. . . . In FlashGet, in left pane, I always delete all those sub-folders, leaving only those three that can not be deleted. . . . Setup a DL folder on your D-drive beforehand, say, -D-DLs. . . . Right-click all the entries in the left-pane of FlashGet, choose Properties, and set the default download folder to that which you just made beforehand, -D-DLs. . . Then your DLs will go into that folder. . . I do this now and then, when my C-drive gets full and I can not immediately clean it
