I just built my new pc and I got a Samsung 840 series 120gb ssd, and a 2tb seagate barracuda hard drive, I installed windows 8 to the ssd and the rest of the programs for my hardware and I planned on putting everything else on the hard drive. I made the download folder go to the hard drive, which it does go there when I look it up but nothing I've downloaded onto the hard drive shows to be taking up space, the ssd just keeps getting less space. I have my docs, pics, downloads etc. to go to the hard drive but they dont seem take up space on it. Im so confused. Thank you for any help
 
Solution
the browser download folder is independant of where you actually have the system download folder. Go into your browsers settings/options and tell it where you want the downloads to go.
