Description Alejandro Diaz Caro 2007-05-13 05:20:49 UTC 
Version:           2.1.4 (using KDE 3.5.6, Kubuntu (feisty) 4:3.5.6-0ubuntu14)
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.20-15-generic

Ktorrent consumes between 78% and 95% of CPU load. It's normal? I have a 2GHz CPU with 1Gb of RAM.
Comment 1 Joris Guisson 2007-05-15 19:28:19 UTC 
Euhm, that seems a bit much ? Does it improve if you set no download limits ?
Comment 2 Alejandro Diaz Caro 2007-05-15 20:08:56 UTC 
No, I normally don't set any download limits.
Comment 3 Joris Guisson 2007-05-15 20:16:53 UTC 
I mean download and upload limits ? Just set no limits at all and see what the CPU usage is.
Comment 4 Alejandro Diaz Caro 2007-05-15 20:35:59 UTC 
Yes, I understood, I set no limits at all, and the CPU usage (after a few minuts) is near 90%
Comment 5 Alejandro Diaz Caro 2007-05-15 20:45:26 UTC 
I am trying this right now. And I don't know why, but now ktorrent consumes "only" 45% of the CPU (ok, is still too much, but isn't 90%)
Comment 6 Joris Guisson 2007-05-17 10:04:50 UTC 
How fast are you actually downloading ?
Comment 7 Alejandro Diaz Caro 2007-05-17 14:41:34 UTC 
200~250 kb/s in average, but that depends on what so popular is torrent.
Comment 8 Joris Guisson 2007-05-17 19:19:42 UTC 
A lot of CPU usage, for those speeds.
Comment 9 Alejandro Diaz Caro 2007-05-17 19:30:13 UTC 
Yes, I know.
Right now, I am downloading Ubuntu Feisty DVD at 188.3 kB/s in average with a CPU usage of 25% by Ktorrent.

350.1Mb at 35 kB/s
