I think when bittorrent starts downloading a file, it reserves the entire space for the file, including parts it hasn’t downloaded yet (because it doesn’t download file pieces in order, and inserts the downloaded pieces into the appropriate places in the partial file).

So, not to worry – total size is going to be 35.6GB 🙂
