So the only way to correctly circumvein that is to end up with two copies until seeding is done. Once seeding is done you can have uTorrent auto delete the original one, and you keep the copy. If you are however in need for storage, especially caused from all those 'copies', then you can indeed switch to a watch+delete system. I do the same on majority of shows, and it caused me to create the suggestion/ticket a long time ago almost identical to the idea you had as well: <a href="http://code.google.com/p/mptvseries/issues/detail?id=449" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/mptvseries/issues/detail?id=449</a> You can 'star' the issue to show developers I am not the only one interested, as well as keeping informed that way on its progress, but with many thousands of users of MP-TVSeries, having '3' ppl star this one does not bode well on any urgency for them to implement. So for the time being and the near future you have to apply workarounds. One of them (which is what I use) is to indeed enable the option to allow delete from GUI, and then the moment after I am done watching an episode I hit '0' -> '1' on my remote and episode is deleted. This then allows me to not just clean up storage, but also keeps perfect track of unwatched series/seasons/episodes as they are still on disk and shown inside MP-TVSeries. If I am all up-to-date on a continuing series it is not shown until a new file is added, indicating a new episode aired. If however due to issues (such as lack of storage) a new episode was not correctly added and due to other factors I would not realize this until 2 weeks later, I would sometimes skip a week by mistake and not realize it until well into the episode or worse, afterwards. For this I was able to convince the developer to add a different option (which was much easier to develop/add for them) that allows you to keep track of playback progress (General tab of config as well). What this does is ensure you have a database entry of watched status on the previous episode. So if you watched 1x01 and then deleted the file from disk (not from database), the watched 1x01 status is kept. If you then add 1x03 and try to watch it, you will get error saying "you did not yet watch 1x02, do you wish to continue". This only works if episode 1 or higher watched entry existst inside database, so if you start off the season with 1x04 you will not get an error. Still it is an aweome combination of work-arounds that make MP-TVSeries very versatile. The MediaPortal plugin "DriveFreeSpace" rounds it off for me, by allowing me a quick visual overview inside MediaPortal on how much free space I still got across my storage volumes.</blockquote>
