that sounds like very similar if not precisely the same effects of the pagedaemon thing. i was on jun.30 snapshots and also maybe jul.2 snapshots and was still getting my ass bit by the pagedaemon thing; right now i'm on jul.11th snapshots for 2d and things are seeming to be still OK. that's all orthogonal to what torrent client does what, but fwiw... -- jared
