Do you have the 'autodefrag' mount option enabled? If it is turned on, then that may be the problem. Most bittorrent clients pre-allocate the space for a download, then write each block directly into the location it's supposed to be in the resultant download, which means depending on how it's pre-allocating the space, that you end up with a large number of randomly ordered writes into a single file, which in turn will trigger the autodefrag code, which can cause latency spikes when you're also hitting the disk at the same time.Hello, currently my computer freezes every several seconds for half a second or so. Using it feels like I'm playing musical chairs with the kernel. I have just one download happening on utorrent right now - this is what the graph looks like: http://i.imgur.com/LqhMtrJ.png and every time a new spike happens, a freeze happens just before that... that's the only time those freezes happen, too.
