Hi,

In

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bittorrent/+bug/108101

it was reported that Btshowmetainfo can use up a lot of memory
scanning a file that isn't even a torrent. Lars L and Andrea Veri
wrote the patch at

http://patches.ubuntu.com/b/bittorrent/extracted/01_btshow-meta-info.dpatch

to check whether the file is a torrent before scanning the whole file.

Please consider applying it. I have put the patch at the bottom of this
mail for your convenience.

Thanks,

James
