Man am I glad I found you guys!! Well it's a full moon...of course and after a month of pure MacBook Pro bliss tonight I got my first real problem. While browsing in Firefox an error message popped up which read something like "Start up disc nearly full, please delete files".

Firstly I went to Disk Utility and determined I have only used just over 60 G on my hard disc and still have 170+ free. My RAM still had 3/4 free space and when I ran the verify disc option (repair disc not available) all was fine.

Then I downloaded Cocktail and ran some scripts and cleared some caches. I'm still getting this message after doing that and what's worse a torrent that I have been trying to download stops at 99% with the message "no space left on device". I'm struggling here. Can anyone help me out? Please be gentle, I'm only a newbie to Mac. Thanks in advance, Travis. :)
