Hi, In https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bittorrent/+bug/108101 it was reported that Btshowmetainfo can use up a lot of memory scanning a file that isn't even a torrent. Lars L and Andrea Veri wrote the patch at http://patches.ubuntu.com/b/bittorrent/extracted/01_btshow-meta-info.dpatch to check whether the file is a torrent before scanning the whole file. Please consider applying it. I have put the patch at the bottom of this mail for your convenience.
