EMule insufficient disk space

Solved

Hello everyone
I'm using Windows XP and my eMule downloads arrive with the message insufficient disk space and a yellow and black striped band. I can't open them. Yet my disk space is almost empty and they are just small files. What to do as Lenin would say?
Thanks for a response from a computer illiterate
Configuration: Windows XP Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hello,
    I had the same problem, and I just found the solution. In fact, the black and yellow striped bar appears when the name of the downloaded file is too long. To fix it, you need to right-click on your file in the transfer tab of eMule and select "Detailed Information".
    In the name tab, you can rename your file and give it a shorter name so that eMule can finalize it correctly.
    There you go, hoping this can solve your problem. @+++

      Merci mais j'ai essayé de télécharger une chanson "Bebe lily - papy" pour voir si c'était ça et pour l'instant ça me fait quand même espace disque insuffisant.

      You will have to reboot the emulator and relaunch it as an administrator to complete the loading.

    I found it, it’s all bullshit, if a file is finished and there’s insufficient space, just turn off the emulator and right-click on the shortcut to start as an administrator and the file will be green (it works for me, I don’t know about you) See you later!

      I have a new solution, now I set on eMule "always run this file as administrator" and since then, no more black and yellow stripes.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem, it's annoying me. There are black and yellow stripes and as a result, I can't receive it. Please try to find a solution.

    I resolved the issue as follows:

    - at first, I tried to create a desktop shortcut by dragging the incoming folder from the desktop to the desktop, but instead of a shortcut, the entire incoming folder was moved.
    - as a result, downloads no longer know where to go when they are finished!! --> an error message

    Solution: restore the incoming folder to its original place and create a desktop shortcut by right-clicking on the incoming folder "create desktop shortcut"

    And there you go!!!

    Hello,

    in the good old days, because nowadays, Madam, I only download TV shows that will never be released on a commercial circuit... ;), at my place, this phenomenon happened every time Bitdefender informed me at the same time of a virus included in the downloaded file. I therefore considered that there was a relationship between Bitdefender's action and this "blocking". I would advise those who manage to unlock these files (with the mention insufficient disk space and a yellow and black striped bar) to analyze them carefully with a good antivirus before using them... (It is true that Bitdefender tends to identify a lot of false positives, especially in Keygens... but I never dared to tempt fate by launching them anyway. Therefore, I abstained).
    To "unlock" these files in order to throw them away, the only solution was to uncheck Bitdefender's real-time scanning while I moved the incriminating file to the trash (and empty it!), and then recheck real-time scanning (not to be confused with "re... checking" ;). Otherwise, Windows refuses to transfer them out of the eMule Temp folder "because they are being used by another software".
    Cheers

    hi everyone,
    I had the same problem and I just needed to click "open incoming folder" in the "tools" menu of emule and hit "resume" on my files and that was it!!
    In my opinion, I must have moved my incoming file and emule couldn't find it anymore!

      Great, I followed your advice and created a second incoming folder, and it worked while all the other solutions suggested here (restarting, changing filenames that were too long...) didn't work. Thank you.

        Hi, how did you create your second incoming folder? I tried restarting and changing the name like you did, but it didn't work. Thanks for helping me.

    Hi, I had this problem too, but know that it is very easy to solve.
    The issue is that the file name is too long, you just need to shorten it!
    You just have to right-click on the yellow and black file (where it says: insufficient disk space)
    Then click on 'detailed information', go to 'name', and rename your file using a shorter name! And click OK...
    Then right-click on it again and click on resume and your problem will be solved!
    It's not very complicated, you just have to know it! :-)

    Non désolé, moi j'avais fait ça mais ça ne marchait pas...
    PS : as-tu fait un clic droit sur l'icône d'eMule et ouvert en tant qu'administrateur ?

    You open Emule as an administrator and wait, you will no longer have insufficient space.

    Is it mandatory to write in SMS shorthand or other forms of phonetic writing in a forum? SMS language is supposed to be used for saving time and ease of use with mobile phone keyboards... well... I imagine you are not in such a hurry and you are not here with your cellphone... so? A little effort? ... or not ...
