Answer 1

If your computer says that there's not enough disk space then there's not enough disk space.



Go to My Computer and have a look at the properties of the Hard Disk Drive, to do this click Start>My Computer, right click on the My Computer window and change the view to details. This will then show you how much free space is available on your hard drive.



You can try and free up some more space by removing unwanted programs and files. Also using a cleaner program like CCleaner is good for removing old temporary files. You can download it from here: http://www.ccleaner.com

Answer 2

Double click 'My Computer' on your desktop, there should be Local disk C or D whatever.

And you can see how much memories you have used and left in total.

Movies are usually 1.4GB-2GB on average HD... So now you can compare them...

Plus if you want a Extension of your memory

Try

1. Start -> Control Panel -> Programme delete or modify and delete some unnecessary files.

2. Go 'My computer' -> Right click Local disk-> Properties-> Organize disk or clean disk??? Cant remember exact but should be similar.

This is on bases of Windows 98~Windows 7

Answer 3

When downloading choose the destination or the place where you want it to be downloaded.

Get sure it is not the C drive coz it sometimes get full.

You may right click and choose "save as" or "save linked content as" to choose where to download.

If the movie is bigger than 4 GB switch your file type fron FAT32 to NTFS.



And about second question it is not a lot. It means 512MB RAM is available. So if your RAM is 2GB for example that number is not a lot.



Thank you.

Answer 4

I can understand your irritation...



See whatever mode you are downloading movies....it may be either through torrents or through browsers like internet explorer or firefox...default it will be loaded in your C drive. Its so obvious that disk capacity problem will come..

You may have personal drive like D or E apart from C...go manually to torrent protocol or any of the browser from which you are downloading movies......Change the destination folders from C drive to your personal drive..



Hope it is solved
