SUMMARY

I have a problem with KTorrent constantly writing to disk when torrents are seeded in idle.

If i Pause All torrents, the writing to disk stopped. When i start all or even a single one immediately start writing to disk.

This has happened to me before, i had to purge KTorrent + all settings and starting from scratch by checking everything that's how i fixed it early.
I've been okay for months until i did update 6.4.0 recently, I see this matter has come back to me, i really don't want to start again from scratch rechecking all the torrents.

I found this thread that has identical symptoms to me. 
https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php%3Ff=235&t=168200.html

I don't have anything suspicious in the settings either.

Please do a check if it's just me like this?

This is possibly the same bug as https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=490894.
