ktorrent 3.2.1+dfsg.1-0ubuntu3 takes a lot of disk space when running after some hours

[Bremm]

Binary package hint: ktorrent

Well, I've already found this weird behavior, but had no time to research about it.

Last night I started ktorrent (3.2.1) and left it running at least 24 hours. It took about 270MiB of my disk (/home) and only after restarting my x session this space has been released by Xfce.

(EDIT: last time it took around 350MiB)

I haven't find anything about this bug, but I can assure it isn't a new one. I noticed it shortly after a severe problem related to memory leaking in ktorrent 3.1.2 (bug #291598), when I upgraded to new 3.2.1 (after 3.2 of course).

I'll try 'lsof' after a short period to see if it's related directly to ktorrent or it's something between Xfce and ktorrent.

Hi there!

Thanks for reporting this bug! Your bug seems to be a problem with the KDE program itself, and not with our KDE packages. While we appreciate your issue, it would be better if it was tracked at https://bugs.kde.org, so that the KDE developers can deal with this speedily and have direct communication with you as the reporter for more effective debugging.

Thanks!
