At one point, I had about 400 or so total, some downloading, some finished and uploading while some were doing both. I may have to switch to something else before it is over. I may even put it on a different machine or use something else to put my videos on the TV, HTPC thingy. Since I've found things that were hard to find elsewhere, I want to return the favor. So, I'd really like to hold onto those that are hard to find. After I removed some of the inactive ones, it is a lot better. I also limited the upload speed which helped a lot. According to atop, when uploading at higher speeds, the reads were really putting a load on that set of drives. Does deluge have a GUI option? Of course, if I put it on another machine, I may go headless for it. That's one reason I'm asking. Options. And as soon as I think it is better, it slows down again and I find this from top: 27672 dale 20 0 410.7g 4.3g 4.1g S 2.2 13.6 158:26.37 /usr/bin/qbittorrent It's not nearly as bad as it was when I started this thread but still, that's a lot of memory. Dale :-) :-)
