Hy there!

I having the very same problem with an up2date jaunty ecryptfs home, and
transmission (the included version, and after first having the issue,
updated to transmissionbt ppa) as soon as transmission starts allocating
the space for the torrent data, my one of my cpu cores gets 100%
(transmission gets it in htop) memory cache gest filled in no time, till
that the disk activity is high and after the disk stop, and transmission
locks up... can only stopped by holding down the power key for several
seconds, or using sysrq!! (SIGKILL does not help!)

Please lead me to provide all the information you need to fix this ass

Bug description:
Karmic with all updates. Home is encrypted with ecryptfs.
I have tried downloading several torrents with thansmission and rtorrent. When downloading to the encrypted home, both programs hang, use 100% CPU and I can't kill them. Downloading to /tmp, which is not encrypted works.
