Hacking Pkgj help with download storage

[scotch]

Hi Guys,

I've been downloading titles via pkgj. I've now ran out of free memory space. Does pkgj keep downloaded files stored somewhere and a separate file for installed games, so a 1 gig game would take up 2 gig of space? And if it does, can I delete one of the files to free space up? Thanks in advance

No, it works like installing pre-extracted VPKs (the downloaded files are moved to the right place, then the livearea is refreshed)

It's actually failed/incomplete and forgotten downloads in ux0:/pkgj that continue "wasting" space until dealt with

Oh ok. It's just that I didn't realise there was a limit on games that appear in the live area. So I'd downloaded a lot that didn't show. Once I'd organised games into folders I was able to see everything I'd previously downloaded, but I lost the remaining storage space I had when they appeared in the live area. Why would I lose storage space installing to the live area, when I'd already downloaded the games?
