According to ktorrent, 2 GB of a 4 GB directory have been downloaded in the last 24 hours, yet 'df' shows no sensible change of the available space in that partition. Remarkably, 'du -s' returns 4GB for that directory, although my guess is that size is only 2GB actually. How to double check size of that directory and files therein? Thank you --Pol
