Ok, I've looked around but haven't found anything on this specific issue. I just installed gtk-gnutella, and am loving it vs limewire... the only thing is I ran top to check what resrouces were being used... and famd is using 89 - 95 % CPU, evidentally to ensure everything is kosher with the files being written... Is famd neccesary in this procces? Because I don't want to be using that much resources for downloading.
If you disable famd, then obviously apps like nautilus etc won't recognise any changes to files unless you click their refresh buttons. I don't know how you minimise the memory ussage though when running gtk-gnutella.
I have the same problem. In addition to what you describe, gtk-gnutella's UI eventually begins to refresh VERY slowly -- it just shows blank gray screen until I click, at which point the list boxes refresh and the rest of the window remains a flat gray slab. If I kill famd, gtk-gnutella then uses 75-95% CPU. This only happens when I am downloading multiple large (e.g. 200 MB+) files.
