Package: transmission-daemon
Version: 2.03-2
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
When transmission-daemon can't connent to a seed (e.g. downloading a fresh
torrent where only one seed) and download reaches other peers (say my daemon
is almost 20% and most amount of other peers are at 20% too)
transmission-daemon goes crazy, starting using 95-100% cpu (more precisely -
core).
There is a strong correlation between vmstat and top: vmstat's 'bi' goes 0
(no more pieces available at a moment) - top goes 100%. New parts becoming
available, transmission starts downloading them - vmstat's 'bi' raises, top
goes 10-20%, depending on download speed: 10% for every 1MiB/sec (which is
not good too, though I have AMD Athlon neo n36l - maybe that's ok for this
cpu:)
I'm fighting this setting download limits so my transmission-daemon slightly
slower than most other peers and always have parts to download. Cause
otherwise my 2-core box becomes pretty unusable (transmission-remote goes
dead at all).
Transmission 2.03 is 1 year outdated, maybe it's time to upgrade? At least
2.13 will compile on stable release (newer ones depend on libevent>=2.10)
