Public bug reported: Binary package hint: ktorrent
After a few hours, ktorrent and it's kio_file slaves use masses of memory. I have Ubuntu 9.10 on an AMD64 system, 4Gb ram. this renders the system extremely slow as almost everything is swapped out. Quitting from ktorrent frees the memory. Simply minimising or leaving it in the system tray does not help. I am sharing two 1.5Gb files. >From top sorting by memory usage: top - 11:45:58 up 3 days, 13:53, 1 user, load average: 2.39, 1.09, 0.62 Tasks: 176 total, 4 running, 171 sleeping, 0 stopped, 1 zombie Cpu(s): 3.3%us, 4.0%sy, 0.3%ni, 47.5%id, 44.4%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.5%si, 0.0%st Mem: 4060760k total, 4030836k used, 29924k free, 312k buffers Swap: 4104504k total, 2554140k used, 1550364k free, 20120k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 14187 ian 20 0 2501m 1.3g 876 R 0 33.9 23:50.29 kio_file 14188 ian 20 0 2501m 1.3g 876 R 1 33.8 23:59.10 kio_file And another time: top - 02:10:27 up 3 days, 8:46, 1 user, load average: 3.26, 3.26, 2.74 Tasks: 175 total, 2 running, 173 sleeping, 0 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 1.2%us, 1.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 0.3%id, 97.3%wa, 0.2%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 4060760k total, 4032604k used, 28156k free, 304k buffers Swap: 4104504k total, 2050768k used, 2053736k free, 20012k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 14937 ian 20 0 3576m 3.2g 8 D 0 82.1 34:54.35 kio_file As you can see, the system is totally bogged down in wait states while it waits for hard drive i/o. ** Affects: ktorrent (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Ktorrent uses masses of memory after some time running https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503841 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to ktorrent in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
