If I have tabs open in firefox and i start to download torrents using qtorrent on Ubuntu 11.10 firefox begins to take a very long time to load the pages. Presently i have qtorrent running and i had to open chrome to send in this message because firefox is taking toooooo long. I'm not sure what the linkage is between the two programs.

Hi bajah,

Have you looked at our performance troubleshooting section? There is a lot of good information in there that should help.

Hopefully this helps!

Yes i have gone through them but they don't address my problem because my problem is more specific. Generally i don't have a problem with the speed of firefox until i start downloading with qtorrent.
