Slow downloads when Plush theme is open

[TechDude]

Hello,

I am running the most current 0.5.0 beta5.
Download speeds are consistant, until the browser is opne (using Plush theme).
Speeds the drop to as low as 5 Kbps, and bounce around dramatically.
As long as the browser is open on the Plush theme, the speeds are inconsistent.

Close the browser (Google) and the speeds return to normal, almost instantly.

Seems odd, maybe something with the API's ?

How big is your queue?
What is your refresh rate set to?
and what computer you got? :p

I am running a dedicated Intel Pentium dual code (64).
I only have about 12 items in my queue and nothing in history.

Oddly, last night everything started to act normally again.

Since you're Techdude , what exactly is dedicated Intel Pentium dual code (64) ?

[TechDude]

"dedicated" referring to the fact that this machine is not used for anything else other then nzb downloads and playing of mkv files (using Windwos Media Player Classic).  It is a bare install of Windows 7, with the following:  sabnzbdb, Combined Community CODEC Pak, VLC, HotSpot Shield and AVG (anti-virus).

Intel Pentium dual core, running at 64 bit
I only noted this, as sabnzbdb runs at 32 bit.

Cheers,
TechDude

What is the Plush refresh rate?
Don't set it below 30 sec.

[TechDude]

Refesh rate is set to 30 seconds.

This issue does not appear to occur in RC3.
