At one point, I had about 400 or so total, some downloading, some
finished and uploading while some were doing both.  I may have to switch
to something else before it is over.  I may even put it on a different
machine or use something else to put my videos on the TV, HTPC thingy.
Since I've found things that were hard to find elsewhere, I want to
return the favor.  So, I'd really like to hold onto those that are hard
to find. 

After I removed some of the inactive ones, it is a lot better.  I also
limited the upload speed which helped a lot.  According to atop, when
uploading at higher speeds, the reads were really putting a load on that
set of drives.  Does deluge have a GUI option?  Of course, if I put it
on another machine, I may go headless for it.  That's one reason I'm
asking.  Options.

And as soon as I think it is better, it slows down again and I find this
from top:

It's not nearly as bad as it was when I started this thread but still,
that's a lot of memory.
