High power usage while downloading torrent

[pubnoconst]

I have noticed a very high power usage while downloading torrent files. My laptop starts spinning out and the power usage gets too high, compared to torrent clients i.e. qBittorrent, which is moderate.
Probably worth having a look at, especially from a security point of view. Although, I am not sure where to start.

I am running Windows 11 on my system.

wow, 567 MB/s?! what's the download / upload speed when this happens? As you can see CPU and memory are very low.

I don't know how to profile on Windows, but would be cool to know what is it doing. It's not obvious to me why it would use so much disk IO unless you are downloading and/or uploading like crazy

I am trying again, at 26Mbps down and <1 Mbps up, my disk I/O is about 250Mbps. I cannot seem to consistently replicate such high I/O.

Is it consistent? Is it always proportional to the down/up speed?

I'm developing on osx, never noticed anything unusual there.

But if it's a windows only thing should be possible to reproduce easily. If it's windows -onlyI'm afraid we might need a windows developer to debug what's going on.
