Your Torrent machine have to download 5 files, have to unzip one File and have to play an Movie at the same time?
I think that could be too much. Or do you pause your Jobs while you are watching movies?
Normally i will leave utorrent seeding maybe 160 files and downloading maybe 10 files at a time and i leave Nzbs running at the same time but the only time it might affect film playing is when a 5gb file is extracting or repairing and transfering to my backup drive when its finished.
I don't mind stopping utorrent/nzbs while watching a film so it don't cause the film to go block y but the whole idea like i say is to lower power consumption so i can seed for more than 8 hours at a time, i wish to seed to 24/7 instead.
I am waiting for my energy monitor to arrive so i can check my my watts while its running doing its normal stuff and i suppose looking at the TDP of the Bay trail and Am1 cpus it was making think i could save more power.
My cpu now normally stays between 20-30% while doing all 3 jobs unless it starts extracting which takes it higher.
