The only possible explanation I can think of.
1. BitTorrent allocates 4GB or whatever the file size is for the video you are downloading, and works on filling it from the torrent.
2. Previously, that was "blank space". But blank space isn't zeroes, it contains previous content that you deleted or moved (unless you purposely zero your free space.
3. The random video used to be located in the space where you are currently downloading the torrent.
And yes, that's pretty impossible too.
Otherwise, I got nothin'. *shrug*
[EDIT] does it show in the "recently opened" that it accessed that other drive?
