Hey, guys and gals -

So I recently sent my rev A MBA off to have the broken hinge on the screen replaced, and to my surprise, they replaced almost the entire computer (all the casing as well as the logic board). When I got my computer back my HDD said that it had 8.08 GB of available space, and I started downloading some torrents. After downloading a little more than a gigabyte, my torrents paused saying that there was no available space on the HDD. My finder, however, still showed nearly 8 GB available. I thought it was an issue with my torrent program, so I updated it, but I kept having the same problem. Then I tried downloading some large files via Safari with no luck. Several restarts later and it seems that 6.8 GB of my HDD are permanently unavailable. I've tried to find instances of similar problems online but to no avail. Anybody heard of this and can offer guidance before I haul it to the Genius Bar again?
