Package: azureus
Version: 3.0.4.2-1
Severity: important


The download directory of Azureus is, in my case, on a fat32 partition. When
a download begins, azureus spends a very long time (5 - 20 minutes)
"allocating" space in the download directory. The time required seems to go
up faster than linearly with the size of the file to be downloaded.

While azureus is allocating, the load average of the machine goes to
ridiculous levels (at least 10). Everything (mouse, keyboard, the onscreen
clock) freezes. Sometimes I cannot even go to a VC with control-alt-F2;
sometimes I can, but I have to wait for a while until the system reacts to
the keyboard command. There are no error messages. After the waiting period
is over, the download begins. The load average remains fairly high (1 or so)
and according to "top", java consumes about 25% CPU; this remains so until
the download is over.

I then discovered the option Tools -> Options -> Files -> "Enable
incremental file creation." With this, a download does not start with an
"allocating" phase. The download begins at once. At least, azureus says so;
but it is not true. By doing ls -al on the download directory I can see that
the complete file size is still being allocated in advance (with the same
effects as before: allocation proceeds very slowly, ridiculously high load
average, freeze of all processes including the download itself, which
remains at zero bytes until the allocation is finally finished).

This penomenon is fairly recent, but I could not say with which version of
azureus it started.
