- If the file to be downloaded is significantly larger than the existing file, check the amount of actual available space before proceeding with the download.
- If the file to be downloaded is overwriting an existing file, ME Transfer Utility does not include the size of the existing file in its calculation of available space and the existing file will be deleted.
- If the download fails or is canceled, the file that was being downloaded will be deleted from the destination.
