Bug Description
KTorrent had become unusable for me since upgrade to Ubuntu Precise (my last successful KTorrent downloads date to May 27th, and after that I upgraded to Precise on May 31st)
After that, what I notice, is a very slow GUI redraw when I resize KTorrent window or click on any its GUI control (several minutes to see the actual redraw); and little or no network activity at all. There could be some network activity and normal GUI redraw soon after initial start of KTorrent, but very quickly after that, it comes to the stall in both GUI and network.
I have two systems with KTorrent, both behaving identically. On each system I have about 20..30 downloads in KTorrent list. Some of them had been completed with earlier KTorrent version, some of them started partially and were unable to finish after KTorrent update, some of them initiated under new KTorrent but were unable to move anywhere further. Also, completed downloads are not seeding (and this is important for keeping my rating on some Torrent sites)
One of my two system was updated to Quantal and then to Raring but this only helped very little with KTorrent (it is able to open a .torrent file and start the download, but not complete it).
Please ask me for any additional information on this topic.
I heard there could be problems related to DBus or KDEd. How should I diagnose or work around them ?
Should I replace KTorrent with rtorrent or other BitTorrent implementation ?
