[transmission] Transmission 1.76 + DHT download and discussion (OLD THREAD)

[johnstewart]

Running Transmission 1.41 with TorrentWatch... my PCH has been crashing a bit the last couple of days and was poking around.

Should btpd be running along with the transmission processes? This from top:

Mem: 87044K used, 2596K free, 0K shrd, 312K buff, 58352K cached
Load average: 5.33 4.76 2.50
PID USER STATUS VSZ PPID %CPU %MEM COMMAND

1235 root R 4392 1 19.3 4.8 btpd
1269 root R 7316 1268 18.2 8.1 transmission-da
1709 root R 1940 1339 1.5 2.1 top

1201 root S < 1560 1 0.3 1.7 ms-mips
1177 root S 1012 1 0.3 1.1 msUPnP-

I think yes, the Transmission install replaced the btpd, but wanted to make sure.

Assuming that's normal, are people finding a practical limit to the number of torrents it can handle? I've currently got around 60; perhaps too much for the PCH to handle?

thanks
