Docker container (Transmission, linuxserver.io) uses only 50% of available cores

I have never been running into this problem until today.. I try to download a torrent file beeing 800GB big. Max speed i'm getting is 1,7MB/s when speed reaches that number the top application shows 100% CPU beeing used by transmission (probably because the big torrent and so many pieces to handle).

 

The bottle neck here is the available CPU power.. For some reason the docker is only using 1 cpu core (or 50% of available cores).. What could be the reason for this? (i dont use CPU pinning).. 

 

I did download a smaller torrent (8GB) and the speed i was getting was around 10,5MB/s and CPU in top showed maybe 20-30% only... So it's clear the bottle neck is the CPU in this case.. But why does it use only 1 core?
