qBittorrent high CPU usage when using I2P

Post by BlindTraveler »

On clear net when downloading more then 1.5MiB/s CPU usage of the client is always below 5% CPU(~2%), but when I'm downloading 60KiB/s over I2P usage is constantly 12%.
Client is uploading 40KiB/s and usage is less then 1%.

Anybody experienced something similar?
Any advice?

I'm using v4.6.7.

As far as resource consumption is concerned, qBittorent behaves inconspicuously, even under load. But for environmental reasons alone, I recommend an upgrade. It is possible that the problem you have outlined has also been resolved with the newer version.

Should of have solved it sooner but I guess I was just tired that day.

After downloading it with no problems over I2PSnark and then trying to just seed it over qBit and once more getting the 12% CPU I investigated little what I could. The tracker list had postman but also the udp://open.stealth.si:80/announce with status "not contacted yet". Once I had removed this tracker the qBit went to normal. At the moment there is only an AppImage(it does not support i2p) for v5 so I cant test if the problem was fixed.

Im guessing the udp is the problem but the fix is easy.
