As documented in this closed bug report: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/ticket/994
I'm running deluge 1.3.12 in a headless debian openvz container. When torrents complete, they are automatically moved from a local drive to a mounted NFS share. Whenever torrents are moved manually or automatically, I assume the move_storage() function is invoked, and all other disk I/O is halted while the files are copying. I know this isn't an issue with my setup or a bug, it's by design.
That being said, you wouldn't think systems in this day and age, or even a decade ago, would have an issue multitasking disk I/O, which in fact is quite well managed by disk controllers and operating/file systems.
Are there any workarounds for this or possibly any plans in the works to improve this design?

Re: Remote GUI and All transfers hang when moving storage
It looks like there's no intention to ever improve on this...
I mean, I can just manually move the files in the OS and then point deluge to the new files and not have this happen; it's not like the libtorrent function is the only way to move files. I bet a plugin writer could implement a better feature than this but it's a shame deluge won't, even though it would likely be years away before we'd see such a change. Maybe I should get off my butt and put something together.

Eh?
In fact this has been implemented in lt 1.1 so once Deluge supports that version it will be available.

Re: Remote GUI and All transfers hang when moving storage
Well I guess I completely misunderstood the bug report as I wasn't sure what exactly was implemented. It's great to hear this is being resolved as I have a pretty active little seedbox.
