Hard disk space problem

Post by winoni71 »

I've had this problem multiple times, I don't understand why this happens.

This is the latest example:

Last night I started downloading 2 torrents with a combined size of 380,5 GB, I had 400 GB of free space, that should have left me with 19,5 GB of free space at

completion.

And yet, I woke up this morning with one torrent at 12%, the other at 20%, both stalled and the HDD completely full with 0 byte of space available.

By looking at the property of the downloaded data I can read:

Size: 378 GB
Size on disk: 103 GB

If I do a "force recheck", which takes a lot of time, the HDD available space goes back to what it should be.

What could be the problem?

Thank you.
