I should have 102GB after the stuff I deleted (and emptied my recycle bin) but I have 93GB.

By leeching I mean I had 100GBs after I removed some files and now I have 93. It has been going down for roughly 2.5 hours now. No one is connected in my network and I am not downloading anything. Vista isn't updating and I can't find the source.

Anyone know what is going on/ what was the dos command to see who was connected again?

Also im a bit paranoid so I dont plan to download anything for a while.

Vista's Resource Management thing wil tell you what is using your HDD (you can access it from the task manager) and Spacemonger can give you a good look at the data on your HDD.

I use this on my servers at work, when i need to find hard drive space, and where it all went. And it looks pretty too. Makes your hard drive into like Blocks, bigger the block the bigger the file.

Its really good for finding huge log files.

I tried that, but have found that Spacemonger is much faster (And looks a lot better)
