Shadow And Cpu Usage!

[DVDLOVER25]

hi guys i am dl 7 torrent files with shadows, and my Cpu usage dosent go below 100%. r there any setting that i can change on or do anything else??

At "processes" i c that each torrent is using over 23800k, is this normal?

What Torrent program is the best to use that dosent use so much of cpu? ( i mostly dl more then atleast 5 files at a time).

Ps: I have a Intel Pentium 4 2.8ghz prosessor, 1 gb ddr ram, and the rest is good to.

Thanx for your time and help.

with that many torrents id use nova, ptc or storm. they are designed to handle lots of torrents

is during normal downloading or is one of them checking existing data?

im sure if i had 300 kazaa&#39;s running it would slow my system down.... <_<

like benno said, they will take up a few sources when checking the file

hi again,

thanx for replying, it keeps using 100% CPU usage, even after it has checked existing data.

i have used ptc and in start i dident have any problems, but later on it alsouses many resourses. how is storm and where can i get it from?

thanx again guys.

same thing happenes to me.. i have a 3.46ghz, 3gig ram but my cpu stays at 100% till i close bittorrent.. and this lame ass peer guardian is usin like 50,000k in the task manager
i tryed usin bitt on a 466mhz.. and my cpu stays at 100% still

i had 2MB left on a 1500MB file..it downloaded in about an hour 15mins,..but thats not the point.. it wouldnt download the last 2mb so i deleted bitt ..screw it

Use the abc client alot lower cpu usage.

Never happened to me.... I use Shadow&#39;s Client Experimental.

I use TorrentStorm and have no probs.

7 torrents is way to damn much torrents going as one time especially when you pick up off oen you closed it has to re-check how much you download then start off their and it can take anywhere from 1 minute to 10. depending on how many you start at once or how big the file is.

The only time I have had the same problem was when i first started using BT and went torrent crazy and had 10 going at the same time .My total download speed was over 600kb/s and upload was at over 300.

try


http://pingpong-abc.sourceforge.net/


the error your getting is cause of the programming language python that they use



the more windows you open the more ram and cpu it takes

the link i posed is to abc it is based on shadows core but has an interface that open all files in one window thus using less ram and cpu accept when you first a torrent or when resumeing untill its done checking
