Hi Nick85,
I hope that it is your free space that has gone down from 64GB to 26.3GB and not your used space that has gone up from 64GB to 263GB. Either way, to lose this amount of storage space in a few hours is quite dramatic. Did you have any problems prior to downloading the torrents? Check your network for excessive activity. Personally, I would never use torrents as you don't know what is being installed along with the requested files. My advice to you would be to uninstall the torrent program and run a full system check with all of your malware detection software. If you find anything, allow the software to automatically deal with it, restarting your machine if necessary. Note that for these checks I strongly recommend that you disconnect from the Internet and only reconnect when you have finished. Dwarf "Nick85" wrote: I need some help guys..
