Here is another scenario which ends up with the same problem.
Downloading using Transmission a DVD ISO of CentOS and storing the downloaded file to an NTFS drive (either internal or via USB).
After a while, the CPU load is so high that Transmission does not download any more, it just waits (freeze mode-like) for the ntfs-3g to do something (high CPU load) and thus the download is kind of stalled... So, as of now, I have downloaded about half (1.7GB) of the DVD ISO, and when I launch Transmission it is just consuming CPU power (and electricity power) for basically nothing significant.

This is a bit frustrating as I do not have the required space on my Linux partition to be able to download the DVD ISO...

Note: with Jaunty, the CPU usage was also remarkably high, however I had managed to download the DVD ISO of the previous CentOS release.
