For me, this happens on a core2duo 1,6GHz notebook, so it is not exactly
the fastest thing ever; I think the slow notebook hard drive has a say
in this too.

I don't know how LUKS works behind the scenes, but this only happens on
ecryptfs, not LUKS.

You are right, I was downloading large files, and 4,7 GB would probably
take a really long time.

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.
