psdz Full File Size

[blkcow]

Does anyone know how large these files are supposed to be? I am trying to download the files onto a flash drive to put onto my main coding laptop but these files are HUGE. They are also separated into 19 parts and the first part alone is showing to be 100GB. That can't be right....right?

Seems right. They are large database files

FYI when you open one part of a multi-part set of compressed files, it is showing you the total file size of all the parts. Don't worry, not all 19 parts are 100GB

I ended up getting a 2TB external hard drive and I ended up filling up something like 800GB!

However now I have another issue where I can't connect to the car because I don't have the chassis targets in the connect window. I'm trying to put all of the different files in the different folders into a single folder and see if that helps since each of the folders did have the dist files. However, now it's waiting to copy all of the 19 different folders...

I'm not sure what you mean about putting different folders into a single folder, you don't want to combine psdz sets or anything like that, you need to keep each version completely separate. If you want to have multiple versions on hand for coding, you'll need to maintain separate directory structures for each.

I do this so I can keep the 2016 version for my F32 and then I have another full psdz set for my F15 which is updated to 2019 software.

You need to extract the contents of the PSDZDATA folder to C:/data/psdzdata

If you need help still, shoot me a pm I can help you sort it, so you can get to coding

I managed to get it to work and got what I wanted done (GTS DCT coding). Thanks for the offer though!
