I can attest to this in Lucid with ecryptfs encrypted /home/user. I'm not sure about Transmission or Vuze, but in rtorrent, there's a way to save the machine and still have large torrent downloads; add this to your ~/.rtorrent.rc:
split_file_size = 8G # or 4G or 3G, depending on your system (mine is good at 3G) And then when the torrent is completed simply run 'cat file_1 file_2 ... > file_x' and then you're good to go. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431975 Title: downloading a torrent to an encrypted home partition hangs and uses 100% CPU -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
