I have similar issue with Fedora 20, upgraded from 18 through 19. I experience temporary freezes of the whole UI during heavy IO operations (torrents + copying files) on the internal HDD 2TB Seagate, formatted NTFS (for compatibility with a Windows dual-boot). System drive is a SSD ext4. All on SATA. Interestingly, during the freeze, my internet radio (rhythmbox) continues to play. It seems the Gnome UI freezes for up to a minute then continues OK, then freezes again, and so on several times until the IO operations reduce intensity (torrents fall down from 6mbits/s to about 1.5mbit/s).
