Started download of "Lost" TV series, not enough space
I just purchased the entire Season One of the "Lost" TV series. Twenty-Five one hour episodes I believe. Then I realized that my powerbook only has about 6 gigs of hard drive space left. I think these videos will exceed that.
Steve Jobs said that one TV show takes between 10-20 mins to download, so 25 should take a few hours.
I'm going to bed now. I don't know if I should cancel the download or what? If I do, can I start it over again somehow. I have an external hard drive that has enough space, but my iTunes folder isn't on that drive. If I let this download continue, in the morning my hard drive will be 100% full, and the 25 episodes will not have finished downloading. I'm sure 25 hours of TV will be more than 6 gigabytes.
Did I just waste $35 purchasing this TV series that can't finish downloading? Possibly screwing up my powerbook in the process by filling the hard drive 100% ? Any suggestions please?
Update: Episode One (Pilot Part 1) just finished downloading, and it was about 220 mb. Multiply that by 25 episodes (assuming the others are the same size) and the total for 25 episodes should be about 5.25 gigs. I had about 6.5 gigs of space when I started...so maybe I'll be ok. I'll just have to transfer all these TV shows to my new iPod Video I just ordered when it arrives I guess. I hope the download doesn't get interrupted. Anyone know what to do if that happens? Contact customer service I would assume?
