Bug ID: 421904
Summary: KTorrent does IO in the GUI thread
Product: ktorrent
Version: unspecified
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: joris.guis...@gmail.com
Reporter: andy...@mail.ru
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Apparently, KTorrent performs file IO in the main GUI thread. This results in
GUI becoming unresponsive at times when KTorrent performs heavy IO activity
(e.g. when it downloads or seeds torrents at high bitrates). This is more
prominently seen when the files are stored on rotational HDD. I'm experiencing
multi-second GUI freezes at times.
It would be better to use separate threads for file/network IO and GUI.
Operating System: Kubuntu 20.04
KTorrent: 5.1.2
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8

OS Type: 64-bit
Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz
Memory: 15.6 GiB of RAM
