Library Size Before Download

Is there a way to know exactly how much space I would need on my laptop if I were to go ahead and download the rest of my library?

One idea for an approximation would be to start a new install of Verbum (or Logos, if it's Verbum you're currently running). Prior to actually downloading, the installation routine will give you the approximate size of a full installation download for your complete library. This would allow you to calculate a size difference to your current library (which is at the hidden folder c:\User\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Logos), which is the approximate size of the download to expect.

To this download size figure you need to add an estimate for the index of the incoming books, say a third or half of this size to arrive at the additional space actually needed for the Logos installation. Due to the way indexing works, where a complete index of the new books is built temporarily and then inserted as data chunks into the existing index, the actual process will need this indexing space twice, so a conservative estimate would say you need free space of twice the size difference you calculated at first.

Hope this helps a bit!
