Strange. Note that you do need to restart Tribler when changing the default
download dir. Could you check what your \Program
Files\Tribler\tribler.exe.log says on startup?

metadata: collect dir is XYZ
Available space for database and collecting torrents: XYZ

We found a bug here: The check for free disk space while collecting looks at
the profile dir of a user, C:\Documents and Settings\User, not the defined
collect dir. But that doesn't explain all symptoms.

Could you check for:
meta: cannot get free space of XYZ

in the same log and post that line and the Traceback stack trace that follows
it?

The only workaround we can offer is:
1. Move your C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\.Tribler
directory to a disk with free space.
2. Remove all .pickle files from the .Tribler dir.
3. Open a CMD prompt
4. Type: set APPDATA=XYZ
where XYZ is the full path of the directory *containing* the .Tribler dir.
5. Start Tribler from the command line: \program files\tribler\tribler.exe

When can we expect to see the mac version of 4.5 for intel? We have been waiting for a while now.
If it is just a matter of recompiling then why don't you post the mac source code in case someone can recompile it for the intel platform?

Just because there isn't a mac version for 4.5 doesn't mean this ticket isn't fixed, closing it again.

COA III, KED, autorec, rev 75 from SVN - but it seems like the captured data deteriorated at some point of running autorec (firmware running some time) as consecutive recordings of my phone brought quite bad audio - while it was clear before.

Another thing I've noticed: there are usually a few noise fragments at the beginning of each capture - but those blocks quickly get shorter and disappear.
