I reinstalled 10.10 on a laptop and used it as a torrent server and it's completely stable, been running for over a week quite happily. My ubuntu 11 machine doesn't crash every five minutes any more now I'm not running a torrent client but it still freezes if there's "heavy" network traffic such as doing a bunch of big http downloads or watching a lot of streaming video.
I think the torrent thing might be a red herring, the real problem is that something in networking is unstable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/769045 Title: ubuntu 11 freezes when using torrent client for more than a few minutes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
