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.
Euhm, that seems a bit much ? Does it improve if you set no download limits ?
No, I normally don't set any download limits.
I mean download and upload limits ? Just set no limits at all and see what the CPU usage is.
Yes, I understood, I set no limits at all, and the CPU usage (after a few minuts) is near 90%
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%)
How fast are you actually downloading ?
200~250 kb/s in average, but that depends on what so popular is torrent.
A lot of CPU usage, for those speeds.
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.
Created attachment 20618 [details] top command where you can see ktorrent consuming 78.8% of CPU load Here, I was downloading 2 files, one of 3.97Gb at 199 kB/s and the other one of 350.1Mb at 35 kB/s
