[quote user="alias"]The real WTF is that you're using the official python bittorrent implementation, try bittornado or azureus or ktorrent[/quote]Excuse me? That is the version that works *best* for me.
If you use Luna: Right click desktop, Properties, Appearance, Advanced, click on titlebar, size down as small as it will go, OK, OK. Makes Luna look alot better and should fix your problem.
