_This_ is an official bug report, opened by me. I think it's being watched, but just look how many bug reports are opened each day. Ubuntu needs an army of developers to solve every and each one, so ones are more important, other ones are less.

To Sitsofe Wheeler:
I am using binary Nvidia driver for my Nvidia GeForce4 440 Go 64MB card, provided by nvidia-glx package from Ubuntu Hardy repos. That or other way, I can hardly connect lock-ups when Ktorrent or Azureus is running with Nvidia driver. Recently I even installed Nexuiz to check how my card is doing... It was doing pretty good :) No freezes during play.

I think there is important _how_many_ connection is made. Recently, during everyday use of my laptop, when only firefox-2 with couple of tabs, claws-mail and amarok is running, I didn't have *any* lock-ups. When I launch Ktorrent or Azureus machine freezes withi 5-10 min.

Just an idea: is it safe to shut down Network Manager at all? As I said previously, my network settings are configured manually in /etc/network/interfaces file.
