Laptop with problem is Acer 3820T, Intel core i3. x86 install using
pae kernel as 4GB RAM.

Other laptop without problem is running Ubuntu 9.4, same wifi/lan.
Transmission running fine.


On problem laptop Acer 3820T Transmission hangs with high CPU usage.
Likewise KTorrent does the same.. very bizarre, I have no idea what is
causing it.

I removed applet-indicator package, still same issue hanging, and
requiring a reboot.

Thanks for the help so far guys, Jon
