Backend service freezing?
Posted: Mon Mar 25, 2013 1:51 pm
Hey guys,
I've been using Deluge as a secondary client (for sites that banned uTorrent) for a couple of years, and as my only client for probably close to a year (because uTorrent got adverts, which is hilarious.) I've only started experiencing this issue fairly recently and it's annoying as hell. It was bad a few weeks ago - as it is again now - but between these periods Deluge worked as expected.
Basically everything just stops. The UI is still working, responsive etc, I can open and play with settings etc, but all the down/up speed columns freeze and no progress is made, as if libtorrent or whatever actually does the downloading behind the UI is locking up. If I go to File > Quit, then the UI flags as "Not responding" and I have to end it via Task Manager, but the backend doesn't unfreeze, so I have to reboot before I can use Deluge again. I've literally just had to reboot about 6 times to finish a download because it would transfer about 8% and then lock up (having done the first ~50% of the file without issue).
Is this related to the known GTK-on-Windows issues I've read about in other posts? What are my options for resolving this? And is it going to continue to happen after a period of time/amount of use?
Thanks
