me101	Desura is installed on my C which is small. It is using this to store all the games. I would like to it to put them elsewhere. Now that my C is getting full I'm getting this warning in bright red: The system harddisk (C:\\) [note the extra slash there!) is low on free space and Desura will start having performance issues. You can move your Desura cache folder to a new disk to free up space. The last part is underlined. I click it, it takes me to a blank "support" tab. How do I change the cache?

O N L I N E Henley Grossly Incandescent	You copy the folder and move it, you can also if need be copy the entire install of Desura and just move it. Then run Desura again from the new location and it will fix itself. --

me101	Ok, so I can move Desura Entirely, that's nice, but that doesn't explain why the message implies there should be a setting but takes me to a blank page.

Grey-fox-13	I get the same warning just that my Desura is on the D: drive to begin with. So i guess since it speaks of C: drive and cache there is supposed to be something else than the install folder of Desura? (and yes i get the same blank support page when clicking on the link in the warning; and yes there is still plenty of space on my D: drive)

Dalken	I've got the same problem. I assumed it would work like Steam, so I just installed Desura to D:. And as far as installing the program and installing games it does indeed put everything on D:. However the cache still writes to C:, and what's worse it doesn't clear the cache after it's done installing, nor is it clearly labeled so you can do it manually AND the settings page where you can supposedly change the cache location is broken. So now I have 7mb left on C: and the update to Xenonauts is stuck since there's nowhere for it to download to after clogging up the other 3 gigs I had open with garbage data. Not that the download was going well before, Desura acts like I have a 56k modem when it's downloading something. Release and a Steam product key can't come soon enough.

geotavros	Same problem here, Desura is on E: drive and gives me the red warning about C: drive.

Dustin_00	Add me to the list of people with Desura on another drive, but the cache is still on C -- I can't download anything.
