Yes - I still use Peak for a lot of stuff - even though it is no longer supported and crashes every other time I try to normalize a track.

I had the "out of memory" problem where Peak refused to do anything, when I used it on my laptop, which just has the one hard drive. I got around the problem by plugging in a 16GB USB flash drive / memory stick, and allowing Peak to use it as a scratch disc.

You could probably also fool it by reformatting your hard drive into two partitions, as peak will treat each partition as a separate drive.

Cheers!

Peak can be a little weird like that, but bear in mind that it will be referring to whatever is set to be the scratch disc (in Preferences) when it talks about free space, which may not be the drive with 160 GB free; it will create a temporary file on the scratch disc and work from that, regardless of where the original file is. 
Using 'Save as' (in this case as a QuickTime file), allows you to save a version on another volume, but it will still expect you to save any changes made to the temp. file when you quit.
Despite  all that, Peak is still my favourite audio editor, and the demise of Bias was sad news,

You can upload to the Mooo by going to the following http://mooo.peelwiki.com/dl/incoming/Upload.html and following the instructions.
 
You say the audio is in Quicktime format? That will be a first! No idea about the Mac gremlins though.

done it!

i went through hard disk editing 'hell' tho'
using a mac with the bias peak wave editor.
it said, "not enough free disk space to save this file".

i have 160gb free, what gives?

i saved it as a quicktime file (same file size as before)
it worked!
why? i have no idea!

but now i need to ask you guys how you would like me to send this stitched show to you.
would you like me to upload it to mediafire or zippyshare?
becuase of the size, i would need to upload it as two rar parts, but extracted it would be the one file, correct?

can i upload it to the moo site?
