Quick question ...

A lot of times (read: almost every torrent, and about every 5 minutes if even that long), the DL speed will freeze, Upload speed will freeze. It looks like its downloading/uploading but its not .. as evidenced by how none of the numbers move at all. Also, CPU load will hit 100%. Since I have sysmetrix, i can pretty much tell just by glancing over and seeing CPU load at 100% ... check BT and sure enough its stuck again. It's extremely annoying because then I have to pause (release resources) and resume again. Meaning .. no over-night downloading and i'm constantly babying the torrents.

Never had a problem like this before until recently (I'd say maybe a month or two ago). I've almost given it up as just one of those things .. a quirk, if you will. Figured I had nothing to lose anyhow by asking you guys.

And no, i'm not pirating warez, i use it to download (unlicensed) anime. Client is ABC if that helps any.

This happens to me, too, and I also use ABC. Not with nearly the frequency that timosyy describes, but it's an occassional problem.
