Description
env: mac 10.6.7 transmission 2.31(12441)
steps to get transmission die:
- add a huge torrents file to transmission, for example, 100G.
- it starts downloading at a speed of about 3 - 4M/s
- when about 300 - 400 Mb downloaded, pause the torrent.
- transmission not responding.
bug:
- At the same time, I can see disk is being written with a speed of 40 - 60 M/s from Activity Monitor. I use iotop to check io stats in terminal, it point out it's transmission.
- As I have only downloaded 300 - 400 M, but transmission continues to write data to disk at high speed and never stop.
- I have to kill transmission from Activity Monitor, transmission quit but the io still there and noway to stop. ("ps aux | grep mission" in terminal I can see transmission still there but "kill -9 pid" would not kill it).
And I have to reboot my mac to get rid of it.
More info: About half year ago in Ubuntu 10.10, I tried transmission to download huge torrents(often big than 10G), and I can see the computer become very slow, and from network activity I can see the speed loop at 10M/s for a while then < 1M/s for a while. While rtorrent works fine in the same env with speed at > 10M/s and computer running smoothly.

lxyu: You need to just wait while preallocation is completed. Could be around 30 min. in your example.
