Every 30 seconds or so my Tixati shows a fast (not responding) and I get a quick screen flash. Any idea why it might do this?   /Win 8 x64 Lenovo I3 3.4 and 6 G ram/

    Tried raising priority and set affinity to #3... no change

I have the same problem. I installed v1.96 a couple of days ago on my Ubuntu 13.10 32-bit Linux PC, and every 30s the screen freezes and all file transfers stop for about 10s.

I have no idea what the problem might be. Any help?
