1.0.0_RC5 Issues
Posted: Tue Aug 05, 2008 6:35 am
Hello,
I'm a farily new user of Deluge, since about May with version 0.5.9.0 or so. Other than the occasional crashing of the app, I've found that Deluge has been fairly stable and has sported some very cool features, like the ip blocklist and the detailed information on torrents/files. This has been the case from 0.5.9.0 up until 1.0.0_RC4. The most stable version, actually, has been 0.9.5.4, with the exception of the taskbar menu and the regular crashing due to too much traffic (or too many torrents being d/d'd), I would assume. This latest release candidate, however, has slowed things down considerably. Not only are my d/l speeds considerably slower, but it seems like there's a memory leak or something to the effect that is slowing everything down, completely. It's really difficult to navigate through Deluge and takes quite a while to even switch tabs.
Where my normal download speeds would reach to about 350KiB/s, I'm now experiencing speeds up to 25KiB/s. Obviously a considerable drop. I'm not sure what the problem could be, but I know that Deluge is running Python twice (1 @ ~30mb mem & 1 @ ~40mb mem). It's also running deluged.exe, as well as deluge.exe. Seems like quite a bit in the background for one program and I would assume that this is why it seems so sluggish, but I really wouldn't know, since I'm not a coder... just a user.
Anyway, just wanted to give you guys a heads up and let you know what my experience was like w/ the new release. Hope it helps in some way/shape/form and if you need any further details, please let me know. Also, if you know of this issue and if there's a resolution for it, please let me know. Thanks. =]
