Oct 24 10:44:34 <Tas> hi
Oct 24 10:48:38 <Tas> hi have a little issue with the torrent plugin on paco
Oct 24 10:48:52 <Tas> ehm s/hi/I :-p
Oct 24 11:04:34 <blathijs> hi Tas
Oct 24 11:04:45 <blathijs> Tas: What's the problem?
Oct 24 11:12:27 <Tas> blathijs: i start the torrent plugin (maximum 4 torrents simultaneously) after 30-40 min i can't reach the fonera anymore
Oct 24 11:12:51 <Tas> no web gui, no smb
Oct 24 11:13:03 <Tas> if i'm lucky i can get in through ssh and kill transmission
Oct 24 11:13:42 <Tas> but sometimes either ssh doesn't respond
Oct 24 11:24:41 <blathijs> This is with beta2?
Oct 24 11:25:51 <Tas> yep
Oct 24 11:26:01 <Tas> I never tried beta1
Oct 24 11:26:12 <blathijs> The most likely cause is Transmission eating up a lot of memory, which causes swapping
Oct 24 11:26:23 <blathijs> which slows down pretty much everything
Oct 24 11:26:27 <Tas> yep
Oct 24 11:26:29 <Tas> like trashing
Oct 24 11:27:14 <Tas> i also noticed that transmission-daemon spanws something like 4 or 5 thread (process)
Oct 24 11:27:25 <Tas> is it normal?
Oct 24 11:27:51 <blathijs> Dunno, I guess so
Oct 24 11:28:34 <Tas> (i'm really sorry about the huge pile of grammatical horrors that i'm doing, don't know why :-p)
Oct 24 11:29:11 <blathijs> hehe
Oct 24 11:29:37 <blathijs> Any chance you could get the output of "top" and/or "ps" before killing transmission?
Oct 24 11:29:50 <Tas> lemme try
Oct 24 11:29:52 <blathijs> Also, does this occur with a single download as well, or only with 4?
Oct 24 11:31:24 <Tas> 12070 12069 root     S N  10944  18%  11% /tmp/images/torrent/sbin/transmission
Oct 24 11:31:27 <Tas> this is top
Oct 24 11:32:38 <Tas> now i'm trying with fewer downloads
Oct 24 11:35:05 <Tas> do you think that the size of the dowload file can influence the resources consumption?
Oct 24 11:50:25 <blathijs> probably
Oct 24 11:50:50 <blathijs> I expect Transmission will keep a list of blocks and their status in memory, so bigger download -> more blocks -> more memory
Oct 24 11:56:27 <Tas> uhm i think it too
Oct 24 11:56:38 <Tas> maybe i should stop downloading 28G files :-p
Oct 24 11:59:38 <Tas> have to go
Oct 24 11:59:40 <Tas> bye
