When a torrent is too big for your plan

The moment a torrent’s size is known, it is measured against two different limits. Failing either one stops the transfer before any content is downloaded.

The largest-torrent limit

Each plan caps the size of a single torrent. Larger torrents need more temporary working space before they can be saved to your library.

The storage you have left

Separately, the torrent has to fit in the space remaining in your library. A 9 GB torrent is within Lite’s 10 GB per-torrent limit, but it still fails if you only have 4 GB free. That failure reads:

Not enough storage left on the plan for this torrent. Free up space or upgrade.

What to do

• Delete files you no longer need from your library — storage is freed immediately.
• Move to a larger plan, which raises both limits at once.
• If the torrent lets you, fetch a smaller selection of its files rather than all of them.

“This torrent is already in your queue”

The same torrent cannot be added twice while the first copy is still running.

Torrents are identified by a hash, so gettor can tell that two different-looking magnet links point at the same content. Adding one you are already fetching returns:

This torrent is already in your queue.

Why this is enforced

Two copies of one torrent would occupy two of your transfer slots, download the same bytes twice against your monthly allowance, and produce two identical folders. None of that is ever what someone wants.

Adding it again later

The restriction only applies while the first transfer is active. Once it has completed, failed or been cancelled, the same torrent can be added again — useful if a transfer failed partway and you want another attempt.
