Well, the problem is not ktorrent. I don't use it, but the hangs remain. I noticed that the system hangs whenever there is a high network load (e.g. when torrents are running). So I suspected the NIC (Realtec chip). I changed the NIC with a 3Com 3c905C-TX which works just fine on another system. But, in vain: more hangs. Once, I managed to save the syslog before the system hanged, and I found this:

The mainboard is Asus SK8N with nForce3 chipset. I don't know what other information could be helpful, but I'm ready to provide it.
Try booting with irqpoll as a boot parameter. ACPI may be setting up the wrong interrupts. This seems related to the nForce3 chipset or ASUS. It seems to have fixed my ASUS L5D laptop which also have an nForce3 chipset; and it also have lockups under "high" interrupt (network) load. -- /"\ Bernd Felsche - Innovative Reckoning, Perth, Western Australia \ / ASCII ribbon campaign | "Laws do not persuade just because X against HTML mail | they threaten." / \ and postings | Lucius Annaeus Seneca, c. 4BC - 65AD.
