Description Axel Braun 2009-11-04 10:02:33 UTC 
Version:           2.3.2 (using 4.3.2 (KDE 4.3.2) "release 5", KDE:43 / openSUSE_11.1)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.37-0.1-pae

I feel the CPU-load that KGet creates is quite high for a download in the background:

Tasks: 146 total,   3 running, 143 sleeping,   0 stopped,   0 zombie
Cpu(s): 28.2%us, 14.6%sy,  0.0%ni, 55.8%id,  0.0%wa,  0.3%hi,  1.0%si,  0.0%st
Mem:   1020472k total,   993064k used,    27408k free,     9252k buffers

I can not really comment on this, as these figures really depend on the computer you use.

Could you please try KGet from trunk (what is to become KDE 4.4) or wait for the first KDE 4.4 Betas/RCs and try it with those to see if the problem remains?
Comment 2 Dario Massarin 2009-12-28 23:17:46 UTC 
Axel, did you try kget recently from one of the KDE 4.4 Beta? And if not, could you?
