On my systems, this bug also affected saving files from firefox, regardless of
the destination!
This is not about the time for downloading, I'm talking about ~1 kB files.
On one machine, it took 4-5 seconds saving such files to any location
(not just the desktop), on the other it took over 2
Just happened to me, too (17.10 x64). RAM usage got up, system became

After restart, the problem has left an ugly gift: syslog has grown to
6,4 GB (I won't upload that). tail syslog (repeating for at least last
100 lines):
Thank you very much for your offer, but I have messed up my system
trying to fix that and at this point I don't want to complicate matters

Would it be possible to submit your patch for official inclusion?

In ubuntu 16.10/17.04/17.10, handling of ntfs drives has changed compared to

misbehaviour has merely given more options to advanced users and was not
intended to mess up file handling in the way it presumably did.
