So I am downloading a torrent. The total size of the torrent is 100 GB, and only 4% of it has been downloaded so far. But in my storage, the folder size is already 17 GB. 4% of 100 GB should be 4Gb, right?

that’s what confusing me.

(I am not a torrenting expert so please help me understand that. and how many extra GB should I have available in my hard desk)
