More news:
I just lost another 41 gb to my System.log file. So I opened it, and it was full of iShock Driver.app errors. So I deleted everything that had iShock from my hard drive, and trashed the log file. Also deleted the iShock Driver from my login startup items. We'll see what happens.
Interesting that it doesn't seem to be related to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thanks to all who helped, Lavode

Probably just a temporary file and such. You might try using OnyX (I believe cocktail has options but OnyX doesn't cost money) to delete all the temporary files, rotate the logs, etc.

I agree that the log files are the first place to check, but generally, SETI @ home has been known to do strange things to systems. I'd avoid it.

Hi all,
I have a dual 2.5 G5, and upgraded on Thursday night to 10.3.8. I leave [EMAIL PROTECTED] running on my machine on the weekends, and when I woke up my computer this morning, it said that there was a corruption in one of [EMAIL PROTECTED]'s files. I dismissed that, and my computer told me my hard drive was out of space. I emptied the trash, and that cleared up 500 mb. However, I had 96 gigs free on my drive, and now it was reading 500 mb! After panicking, I restarted from the CD, ran Disk Utility, and it was fine. I repaired permissions, and that still did nothing. I even tried zapping the PRAM and running fsck on a journalled volume, and still nothing.
Then I did a find in the finder, and looked for everything over 20 mb. I found a few files I didn't need, which freed up 8 gb. Then I noticed a "console log 0" that was 48 GB. Well, I had found half the problem. I did a find for everything over 200 mb, with visible and invisible items showing, and found that there was an invisible "System log 0" that was 48 GB as well. I deleted both these files and restarted. Boom, hard drive space back to normal, with a little bit more from the 8 gb I had reclaimed earlier.
SO WHAT HAPPENED? Was [EMAIL PROTECTED] the problem? Is this likely to continue to happen? This is a really scary thing to see after just upgrading!
TIA, Lavode
I agree with Tarage about avoiding [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you have a spare Mac to run it on fine but [EMAIL PROTECTED] did strange things to my Mac. I wouldn't have it running on my only Mac or main Mac. You are more likely to have strange problems than finding strange beings from outer space with [EMAIL PROTECTED]
