Hello, aMule 2.3.3 on Linux /home/user/.aMule/Temp is big. When i check folder content using Linux ncdu ($ ncdu $HOME/.aMule/Temp), i see:

  699.4 MiB [##########]  082.part

Apparently these are download incomplete files. I see that in Settings / Directories i can set folder for temporarily downloaded files. I have not tried this, so do not know if it properly relocate files, but this worked for me to move and symlink old location to new:

mv $HOME/.aMule/Temp /external/drive/path/Incomplete/amule/ && ln -s $HOME/.aMule/Temp /external/drive/path/Incomplete/amule/Temp

Somehow i forgot these incomplete files takes that much disk space for years -> It may be handy if aMule shows the disk space utilized by incomplete files right in main view and possibly save path of incomplete files, clicking it opens Settings / Directories. So user possibly then sorts files by date added or last date active so i can bulk remove oldest inactive files.
