Comment 25 for bug 392204

Also noticed that ntfs-3g is slow at reading and writing. I used Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.04, both have the same problem. i also have rtorrent and conky installed on my Ubuntu 9.04, but if i want to download something, i must leave the computer until it finish downloading. Even pointer freeze , not talking about browsing or working when copying information. rtorrent run at 10mb/s only few seconds, just to fill up the entire cache and then speed goes down to 1.5mb/s or 6mb/s if I don't touch anything.

please team up with other linux distros and solve this annoying bug. All type of operation that imply copying, reading, writing on ntfs partitions are incredible slow and freeze the machine.

Hint... utorrent under wine don't have such a problem, maybe someone will use wine knowledge in writing a good driver for ntfs.
