Which bittorrent client might that be? I don't have a lot of interest in corrupting my filesystem.

A gnarly 2.6.19 file corruption bug Posted Dec 21, 2006 10:43 UTC (Thu) by cate (subscriber, #1359) [Link] IIRC from the reporter, the bug corrupts only the downloaded file, and the bittorent client finds the error (wrong checksum). So it should not got unnoticed, and it doesn't corrupt other files.

rtorrent Posted Dec 21, 2006 14:17 UTC (Thu) by Webexcess (subscriber, #197) [Link] rtorrent is a very nice program.
I've also found that it's a great burn-in for a system. It's really good at testing ram, cpu and network (for lots of "light" connections). Apparently it can be a good filesystem test too!

I guess I'll move back to 2.6.18 for now.
A gnarly 2.6.19 file corruption bug Posted Jan 1, 2007 18:15 UTC (Mon) by erich (subscriber, #7127) [Link] Note that the Debian and Ubuntu (apparently) 2.6.18 kernels have the same problem. Maybe other distributions as well.But I guess there will be a fixed 2.6.18 kernel coming in any day now.
A gnarly 2.6.19 file corruption bug Posted Jan 2, 2007 20:30 UTC (Tue) by rvfh (subscriber, #31018) [Link] Ubuntu does not use 2.6.18 nor 2.6.19, so Ubuntu users are safe AFA this bug is concerned.
