kazaadebug: 315 Mb strong (& still growing).
My HD available space was shrinking faster than I was able to account for & I started to fear the worst: my first virus ever. But then, after inventoryng my C drive I found the answer; kazaadebug.log had grown to 315 Mb in just 10 days (8000+ entries!)
I had learned about it in a post from Harbinger, I believe. I created the log file, run Kazaa Lite for a few minutes & then analized the entries and there it was: the proof that Kazaa was tying IP addresses to user names. After I had my fun I forgot about it, because the post said that the trick only worked if you started Kazaa from its folder and not from its shortcut. So I continued using the program from its shortcut and guess what: the log kept growing fatter & meaner. The moral: If you created the file, have your fun & then get rid of it; & if you have it and your HD is filling faster than it should that could be the reason. |

Good you found the problem. I had something simmilar. Except it was with a system log, I couldn't delete it normally, and he came back when I could delete it. I had to disable the logging, delete it, and make an empty write protected file in it's place.
