[RESOLVED] deluge freezes my computer

[schmolch]

The last couple of development versions all freeze my computer very quickly.
It takes between 1 and 10 minutes but it will freeze and be completely unresponsive to anything, mouse, keyboard, pings from the network.
It does not matter whether there is 1 torrent seeded with 2 connections or 10 torrents with 500 connections.
Im currently using (or was using) 1.1rc3 on ubuntu hardy.

How is such a thing possible? I always thought the OS is supposed to prevent these things.

Hardware is a Thinkpad x60t (core-duo-1.8 3GB ram)

update:
Turns out its not deluge but the linux kernel itself.
As soon as i use the wired ethernet connection any torrent app leads to freezes.

I think i figured out why there is a temporary freeze for windows port. It has something to do with the limited tcpip connection per second. Every time you reach the limit, it will tell you in your event viewer and deluge will freeze for some seconds. To fix this, you need to patch your winxp OS so that it can connect to significantly more peers than at 10~100 peers per second (something like 300 or above would be fine). Once you patch, set your total tcpip connection (in case your also using another program like emule) to less than the patched limit.

Example:
patched new limit is now 500 tcpip connections/sec
emule = 225 / 5 sec
+ deluge = 225 / 1 sec
___________________
total = 450 max connection at any given time

this should stop deluge from freezing up irregularly.
