What then makes you think that something connected with BitTorrent is
taking up your hard disc space?
A parallel poster has already suggested a command-line way of analysing
your disc usage. If you use Gnome you can also use the Disk Usage
Analyser to achieve much the same:
Applications => System tools => Disk Usage Analyser
Click on "Scan Filesystem" and leave it for a few minutes. It will
generate a nice graphical summary of your disc usage and you can drill
down through it to find which directories are taking the most space.
If you have a directory which is taking a lot of space but doesn't seem
to have any large files in it then try "ls -a" to see if there are any
hidden files there.
