If you've installed the BBC's iPlayer or Sky Anywhere, what's hogging your disk (and CPU) is probably an evil bit of malware called Kontiki which they both use for P2P file sharing.

Having recently installed Vista, I've noticed that my disk usage tripled in the first few weeks as it installed updates, keeping copies of old stuff around in case I want to roll back. I told it to get rid of the backups.Comment

"How much disk space does Vista System Restore require?Originally posted by IR35 Avoider View Post
To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk that has System Protection turned on. System Restore might use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore will delete older restore points to make room for new ones".Comment

At one stage I was down to 6Mb of free space in Safe mode...
