Guppy Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 uninstall and then reinstall. You may want to check your disc's S.M.A.R.T status also Quote System: Linux Mint 17 ( = Ubuntu 14.04 with cinnamon desktop ) Ubuntu 14.04, AMD HD 6850, i5 2500k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einlander Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Also check to see if you have lua sandbox on in the settings, if you are actually trying to write to disk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The "veryfiy integrity of local cache" option is a lot faster. Quote My job is to make tools you love, with the features you want, and performance you can't live without. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennis Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 Thanks josh, but that doesn't work after that it gave the error. it won't download anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Is it an SSD? I would back anything important up immediately because it sounds like the drive is failing.

beo6 Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 Or check if you have any anti-virus running that could block access to files and disable it for a test. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
