First off... this may have been fixed, but I am unable to compile the new version (more on that later), but I am running ktorrent 3.1.3 on KDE 4.1.0. I realize both of these are old, but I was unable to do a full switchover to KDE4 due to some incompatibilities with my laptop. Thus I am running packages that allow KDE 3 and 4 to coexist. Unfortunately they were never updated past 4.1.0 and the latest ktorrent svn build errors out at 99%. I found today while trying to load a torrent that ktorrent would max out my processor. This was just after I opened the URL and it shows the selection dialog. Even when it sat in a queued or stopped state the processor would be maxed out. The only way to take care of it is to remove the torrent.

I realize that this version is old, and that this problem may have been fixed, so I decided to get the latest svn code and run that. Well it goes all the way through, but then shows the following error.

Normally I run ktorrent in a VM on my desktop (updated KDE and ktorrent), but due to a hard drive issue, I am required to run it on my laptop for the time being. I have only found this issue on one other torrent, but I didn't figure out which one was causing it.

I think the CPU usage problem you are seeing was fixed in 3.1.4.

Try compiling 3.1.6, that should build on KDE 4.1

Thank you... 3.1.6 compiled correctly and the torrent loads properly now.

I can't wait to get my VM back up and running with the latest version. Hopefully the replacement harddrive will arrive in the next couple of days.
