Completely off topic but strange
Winxp Pro sp3
Very off topic but only put here because of the experience and knowledge of the people in the group. I recently looked at a site called Bitlet which supposedly allows torrent downloads directly without using a torrent program. I did download a torrent of music via Bitlet, which took no time at all to download, which now sits in a folder on my desktop. It shows several music files,mp3, and shows their full size i.e +/- 3 Mb per file. But there seems to be nothing there, nothing plays etc... how can they take up so much space and be nothing?? Just curious to learn what this is about. Any comment welcome and appreciated. |

If you bung a torrent file into a torrent client, then without even downloading anything it "reserves" on your disc the total space that the download will take when complete. I'd imagine that's what's happened here. For details of how it sets aside that disk space when the files aren't thre yet, you could ask on or search a torrent forum or even Google it. |
