Problem must be in the temp files and directories managed by ktorrent.
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
