Actual file size much larger than utorrent is reporting

Hi,

I currently have a very very large download in utorrent. It is 371GB.

It is only 73% done, but when i check the actual filesize on disk by right-clicking on the folder->properties it is display 565GB.

That is quite the difference. Will this free up the extra used space once the download has finished?

and why is this occurring.

Thanks!

Thanks for your quick answer.

I have 2086 files in the torrent that range from 10Mb - 690Mb and virtually every size in between there.

My drive is formatted in GUID Partition Table at a 4096 allocation size.

I am fine with the extra used space, that is not an issue, I just want to understand why it might be happening so I will be able to calculate this difference in the future.

Thanks again!
