Transmission

I found a temporary solution until I can back up the data on the NTFS partition and format it ext4. I set Transmission to download files on a temporary folder on the much smaller ext4 partition and only move them to NTFS after they are finished. It's running smoothly now.

I'm running Transmission 2.12 on Ubuntu 11.04, and when downloading a large file (10GB) to a NTFS partition, the system becomes very slow and the CPU load hits 100%. Is the NTFS partition the problem and is there any solution to this other than reformatting the partition?
