I was trying to compress a ~50gb game on a HDD that had more than 100 free but it still ate it up to the last few MBs, I tried the cancel button but it stays on cancelling.. forever and it just ignores it and keeps on trying to compress. I think if possible should only be one file in the queue instead of trying to queue the whole operation.

Yeah, same problem. How did you manage to stop it without data loss?

I've added an option to limit compression to one thread which might help this issue, but I feel like there's a deeper problem causing it to eat up your disk space, similar to #325 .

In other cases, the reason cancelling takes so long is because the program must finish compressing the current file before it can close. If the program is partway through compressing a single 50GB file, then that compression must finish before it cancels.
