[Bug 363670] [NEW] Ktorrent goes crazy on the hd after reboot with no internet connection

[Frostybeard]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ktorrent

In Kubuntu Intrepid, I had been using Ktorrent to download something,
which had completed.

The computer is being used to do video surveillance with "motion". I went to look at it, and the
hard drive was going crazy. I could not get into KDE.  With CTRL ALT + F (something) I got into a terminal finally
after much struggle. I logged in and started "top". Ktorrent was up near the top of the list. The computer was not
in the internet. (I use WLAN, and I have to manually start it each time to get into the internet)
I killed Ktorrent, and the crazy churning of the hard drive stopped immediately.

I had also just installed Guarddog as well, the previous day, for when I
am in the internet. "motion" uses some IP ports that I don't want to be
open to the internet like 8080 and 8081.

So it seems that Ktorrent, after previously being used for peer to peer
downloading/seeding, may go crazy after a firewall is installed and/or
the computer is not in the internet. I fear it could have physically
broken my system if I had left it like that for a longer period.

ktorrent -v gives me 
Qt 4.4.3
KDE 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.4)
ktorrent 3.1.2
