-Wake up! Has this dream stopped?The snake was pale gold Glazed and shrunken
And she was beside me Ooh, she's not young Her dark red hair, her white soft skin
Now, run to the mirror in the bathroom, look She's coming in here I can't live through each slow century of her moving
The smooth hissing snakes of rain...

Asking about torrents is OK, it's how most of us get Linux Distros after all.
Discussing torrenting movies and TV shows isn't.

no not at all about the type of files , its just that i am used to play my games while downloading
i never paid attention to U torrent taking resources ,
yesterday while i was playing i suddenly started to have stutters
it was strange cause the game was running
very well . all i could think of is to restart . then it was ok again so i started
u torrent again then it started lagging again . so i looked at task manger to see
that specific torrent file making abnormal cpu usage up to 30%



i never noticed this before with different files i even tried another file which worked
normally



dose the type of file or tracker can make a difference in cpu usage ?

either way am not gonna run u torrent while playing again .
i think it was the reason behind the other stutters i was having with other
games .

Any kind of multitasking is going to affect performance, and if it's an ONLINE game torrenting is going to KILL you with your slow DSL connection.
