Alert user when harddisk is full #35

Open gitjuggs opened 1 year ago

when the harddisk is full the download stops obviously.

not a big deal when you only download a single file.

when you download 10 files at once which are several GB in size each a lot of GB get wasted.

in this case the extension should alert the user that the harddisk is full.

the user can then move already downloaded files to a different harddisk so that space becomes available so that the unfinished downloads can resume and complete.

alternatively the extension could check if there is enough disk space available so that the file can be downloaded completetely. this becomes even more important when you download many files at once. a lack of disk space is very annoying then.

thank you.
