what makes you think it is your hard disk which is lagging ?

have you scanned for spyware ?

are you running any programs ? list them.

You should definetly run programs such as spybot or ad aware. Maybe you could also use Ccleaner to get rid of uneeded junk and maybe defrag your hard drive.

Flashget Download Manager is usually considered to be a trojan it's formal name is W32/Rbot-AGZ WORM/IRC backdoor trojan. Make sure you keep norton anti-virus updated. I would recommend that run a spyware checker and run your anti-virus check in safe mode. By using the bittorrent client you might have picked up some other undesirable malware.
