Hy!

I understand that it can take a while to create a 4 gb file, but what is strange, that:
- I don't think that it has to take more than ten minutes (core2duo@2ghz 2 gb ram WD3200BEVT hdd 5200 rpm)
- The disk stops working after about 3-4 seconds
- with dm-crypt (what I switched to encrypt my home instead of ecryptfs) it only takes seconds to do the job done (about 20-30) when I started to download the same file...

So I think we really have a problem, in not just slow...

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.
