Transmission

Posted: **Sun Jul 22, 2012 7:55 pm**

It is strange, but Transmission is using only one core of my 2 core CPU.
Do I need to compile it in some special way to balance the load?

The issue:
Core 1 load 9,5% while Core 2 load is zero..

As far as I know Transmission itself is not written to support multiple cores/CPUs.
