Thanks for your email and comment, Jordan. I'll have to wait for my "Linux Expert" friend to help me (I'm going to be busy for the next few days anyway).
I forgot to mention in the previous report that the drive buzzed for about 5 - 10 seconds every minute (a repeating cycle). I tried using 3 torrents. I saved: One to the external HDD (EXT format). One to the 1 TB WD internal HDD (NTFS format). One to the 1.5 TB WD internal HDD (NTFS format). That made the problem worse. When I tried the scenario above the drive constantly buzzed. "Transmission" didn't "grey out", but the window was totally empty (no menu, no toolbar & no torrent list, only the titlebar and borders were present). I had to crash "Transmission" to stop the HDD buzzing/thrashing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/701753 Title: Internal HDD thrashing when using Transmission -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
