Hi Kovid, and thanks for your awesome software. But to be frank, I have been wishing for a MySQL backend these last few days

I'm on a decent core duo system with around 2 Gb of RAM. Opening, working with, and reading works fine, as does editing the metadata of a single file.

Sorting by name/author/date and editing the metadata of a group (which causes a re-sort I think) causes the program to 'hang' for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Other than that it is very stable. I've have experienced no real crashes with this load.

The torrent is alive! I just need some people to step up and start peering/seeding

@Dale: it was not such a big effort, couple of days to pull everything in and a couple of days to sort and select and rename. I could send them a ping I suppose.
