So I'm using Transmission to download some files but it has been acting really weird recently.

On the program, I'm getting a bit of slow download speed and the program freezes a lot, and sometimes the GUI stays black and white, even the close button, that usually is orange.

I'm also feeling that it is slowing down my pc in general. Folder browsing takes more time to load with the program on, and any music playing starts freezing (They work fine with the program off).

I've tried running Transmission on the terminal but I didn't got any error messages, and the freezing continued even after I closed Transmission, and I had to close the terminal for it to work (the process was still running, though).

I'm not sure what have caused this. Recently I've put Transmission to start with Ubuntu, and I have tried downloading a big file (like ~40 GB), but because of the constant freezing I gave up.
