Another bugfix release for the 3.1 series is out. This fixes several bugs :

* A crash caused by a SIGBUS, when diskspace preallocation is disabled
* High CPU usage when DNS lookups fail in the UDP tracker code
* Several security issues in the webinterface plugin

Packages can be found on the website.

Works very nicely here, I didnt encounter any regressions so far.

Please keep up the good work^^

Great work!

CPU utilization dropped to 1-3% from 17-19% when using UDP trackers.

The whole app seems much faster and more responsive. Maybe just my subjective opinion.

Setup:
standard openSUSE 11.0 installation
ktorrent 3.1.4 from packman repository

bb4now,
PMC

Where does it install to? I forgot to put the prefix in so I'm not sure where it went and I don't want to have extra unneeded files anywhere.

I've just installed ktorrent ktorrent-3.1.4-1 (kde4), and it still has a problem I've seen in 3.1.3. Look at the memory usage (1GB) when downloading only one torrent and seeding another:

Memory usage has been significantly decreased in the current development version, the changes are to big for a bugfix release, so you will have to wait for 3.2.

I think it must be a bug because I was using 2.2.5 and It was heavy in cpu usage, but never eat all my RAM. Even more: the actual version cant't be let working 24h because eats memory until the kernel kills it when tries to allocate more memory than RAM+SWAP.

By the way, what's the meaning of this error? (ktorrent works anyway):

ktorrent(5727)/kdeui (K*Gesture*) KAction::setGlobalShortcut: Attempt to set global shortcut for action without objectName(). Read the setGlobalShortcut() documentation.
