The question is what can you do when it is in that situation?
Wait it out, or fix whatever is making it "laggy", like a program using all the CPU time.
And OP can probably recover that data with standard recovery tools, if they haven't continued using the PC. Or just redownload it, since recovery would take longer than two hours.
The 44 GB of data that got lost consisted of 191 files each around ~220 MiB in one single folder. I used
testdiskto inspect my drive and I couldn't find the data..
