As soon as I turn on ktorrent, it begins to freeze for prolonged periods of time, then unfreezes for a few seconds, then freezes again. Reproducible: Always
do you use it with ntfs partition?
Yes, I do in the sense that the files downloaded are stored on an NTFS partition
please download torrents to non-ntfs partition and just set them to be moved to ntfs partition once download is complete. this is the only workaround i can suggest, apart from enabling big_writes mount option for ntfs partition.
Is there a permanent fix in the works?
The proper fix needs to be made in ntfs driver, not ktorrent. in ktorrent i plan to add ntfs detection and automatic suggestion to download to another partition
Reasonable enough, thank you for the response
can someone confirm that commenting 'if (!OpenFileAllowed())' line (making the next 'return 0;' being executed unconditionally) in cachefile.cpp makes ntfs download work fine finally?

Other torrent clients (transmission, deluge) doesn't seem to have any problems with ntfs.
