80gb Hard Drive Full Over Night!

[Triadcool]

I have a 80gb harddrive and I was only using 30gbs of it. Then I started downloading stuff off of suprnova over night that tottaled out to be 2 gb of disk space and I let it download over night. When I woke up it said my harddrive was full. I only had 535mb of disk space left. How could this be. I ran check disk and it didnt find any errors, does anybody have any idea?

Have you tried cleaning your temporary files?

[3rd gen noob]

possibly your bitt client found errors in the downloads and re-allocated numerous times...

do you have lots of copies of your downloads?

ah, drive space disappears so fast.

no idea unles you downloaded more than you thought.

had that prob with my old comp. u should try restarting. then check ur file structure with norton systemworks. i just restarted, and everything went back to normal. ur comp can do weird things when ur not in front of it

Ive cleaned my temp internet folders. I only have 1 copy of the file,and I know I didnt download 40gb of stuff while I was sleeping. Any other ideas?

Something's takin up all the space...use an app like SequoiaView or something to get a visual representation of file sizes on your
hard drive.
Or you could just do a search (Windows Key + F), All files & Folders, More Advanced Options, What size is it >
Specify Size > Search for files larger than 1GB (1048576 KB). It should be obvious when the search is done which large files are unwanted,
or if it doesn't find anything, try lowering the search filesize a bit.

maybe you downloaded the move "The Ring"

yeah.... that might be it

be careful your LCD screen might overflow with plasma liquid next!!!

What are some other programs I can use to see what is taking up so much space. And how do I clear my pagefile.
