You'd need approximately 2.4GB :). You'll end up storing two copies of it while decoding, worst case, so that's 1.2GB. 2.4GB is twice 1.2GB. But this ONLY applies if you have not set tempDir explicitly in the config file. It was implemented after I tried to download a 700MB splitfile with my 7GB node, and it caused disk overflow, routing table corruption and all manner of horribleness. > > ie.
