instead of .bmp files - maybe use png?

instead of each file dl/d seperately, tarball the entire thing and download once?

Every file is already compressed when it gets downloaded so it doesn't matter what format the file is in unless you worried about disk space. In that case, 10 years ago it might be an issue but now a days it not an issue since storage is so cheap.

External 500 GB hard drive = 50-100 bucks

Delete chat logs - delete maps you no longer need - delete old server files - delete hotkeys

And i bet it wont be that huge.

If you only have 380gb of space, and you use up THIS much space, then I think PNG's would be the way to go.

Rpgwo was showing like 1.3gig for me in disk space for whatever reason. I just removed everything concerning rpgwo and reinstalled it and now it's smaller.
