Transmission brings Porteus to a stop
Posted: 01 Apr 2011, 11:56
Hi!
I noticed, when I download movies using Transmission, after a short while everything gets very slow and comes to an halt, it is even impossible to reboot - have to switch off the computer. Now, I wonder - although there should be enough memory, might there be a problem with big files and Transmission using up memory in RAM, or could it be the result of exploit-attacks from the net trying to disturb the download? I am using 1GB ram a swap file and I have never seen swap actually being used, so I doubt it is the ram.
If it is caused by exploits, is there a way to stop this?
Any ideas?
