Error: Insufficient system resources

...exist to complete the requested service.

What does this mean? It's been happening since I downloaded the update to 1.5.

Give more info. OS, loaded apps, anything hooked into the µTorrent process (check Process Explorer)

I'm using XP Home. I have a new anti-virus/anti-hacker system (Kaspersky), but up until just after I downloaded the update, it didn't interfere and worked fine. I've tried restarting the program and the computer, to no avail. I don't see anything that could be hooked into the process.

open Process Explorer, double click the µt process, check the Threads tab

Okay...I see a few utorrent executables and a couple of DLLs. mswock, kernel32 and RPCRT4.

What dlls? The only one that SHOULD be there is mswsock.dll

As an aside, I (not the original poster) have wdmaud.drv there as well. Am assuming this is because I clicked on one of the Easter Eggs? (the one that makes the sound) If so, shouldn't this thread be killed after the window that produces the sound goes away?

Might be, but I guess it doesn't unhook for some reason.

I'm having the same errors. Just out of the blue that error comes up and those torrents currently downloading get stopped... I start them again and they work for a while (10-20mins). I've never had this problem, nor anyothers before yesterday. Also, I have not started any new torrents, just the old ones, if that helps.

XP Pro

2gigs ram

120gig HD with 250gig ext. HD

if you need any other info please ask I'm happy to let you know... I'll try and send a screenshot if you want next time it happens.

Well hi there again. I'll add my system-load releated problems here too...

As mentioned n times, since the "io code optimisation" the disk-overload messages disappeared and the situation got better. But then again, the slowdown, which I am having when uploading @1MB/s, is disastreous... Downloading dosen't stress the HD so much (yeah, HD-only, CPU usage is 4% or so...) as uploading - this is obivious becouse of the nature of access frequency, etc.

My read cache is set to 102400, so 100MBs. µTorrent proudly states, that it's 99% effective. And I agree - the HD isn't accessed very frequently (as it would be with Read Cache turned off). But the problem shows itself when another program tryes to access data on my HD, for example - I start Firefox. Man, it takes from 3 times normal to ... times to start! Thunderbird, winamp, even browsing my folders with Win Eplorer is a pain in the a**.

It isn't lagging as soon as it µTorrent starts uploading. Some minutes after that. And if there is more than one user leeching from me... Whoa, help me with my slow system...

Caching? Lot's of open handles to disk? Dunno...

Info, if needed:

W XPsp2 with all updates, blah blah

NOD32 2.51.20 with utorrent in IMON's exclude list. No fiewall (behind a linux router box)

µTorrent v. 1.5 build 137

Athlon 1600+, 512mb ddr, 80gb seagate barracuda

Process explorer shows 4 utorrent.exe threads, sometimes winsock popping up, but it isn't hd releated.

If it helps, µTorrent is the page-fault king on my system (currently 238k faults vs. 33k. of some other app.)

Damn, I would beg Ludde to see the caching/uploading/IO system again, but that's kinda stupid So I'll ask for it.

Thanks, have a nice morning/day/night.

sk-lt: a stab in the dark...does it help if you set diskio.flush_files to *false? :|

[quoting the previous post is spam - quote removed]

Yay, thanks for this stab. It's a thingy I wanted to try, but never knew it was there Will see what happens when some bastards try to leech from me...

EDIT: same (if not worse ) problems. But will try with flush_files -> false longer, too early to make some conclusions.

First of all... Quoting previous post is spam - that's new for me, this isn't a WAP forum or anything. But oh well, now I'll know the rules.

Secondly, the situation after disabeling flush_files didn't get much (or any?) better. The time needed to close a firefox tab is ~10secs., scary.

When I'm uploading to my server ~10MBs the lag on my pc is not as big as with cached(!) µTorrent with 10x smaller speeds. Ech... well, I hope this problem will go into Ludde's "to-do" or some other list.

Thanks

You double-posted.

LMAO...you'll get him banned. Heh, just kidding.

sk-lt: hmm...another wild stab in the dark...someone reported that setting the diskio.read_cach_size to 0 fixed their problems... :|

make sure your available RAM isn't dropping too low.

@sk-lt - Try increasing the number of allowed half-open connections. I had somewhat similiar problems, and it worked wonders for me. May not help you, but try it and see. Patcher at http://www.lvllord.de/ . I usually increase the default value of 50 to 100.

Default's actually 10, but yeah, 100's a good number... though I don't think the TCPIP.SYS has anything to do with this problem =T

TCPIP.SYS doesn't have anything to do with this. Logically thinking, increasing the max. conns could only cause a network overload or a better network performance. No disk-load decrease

OK, I've set the diskio.read_cache_size to 0. This means no caching. This means my hd will be read too much. This isn't a fix, it's just a "maybe this will help decrease your load, but will hammer your hd". I would like a fine working caching system, not a workaround...

Of course, this could be my harware-releated problem, but lots of users my trackers users are having the same problems (with speeds at 1MBs), so I don't think so.

Will see what load will bring d_io.r_c_s set to 0

EDIT: Frion > there is allways ~100mb available.

The interesting thing is that I know plenty of 100mbit users and they have no such issues, so I dunno. They have more RAM than you though.

OK, stupid me. Have tought this over, have watched the system memory load... True to say that my ammount of ram is at fault.

This "<...>the problem shows itself when another program tryes to access data on my HD<...>" I mentioned above is a cause of swaping the memory to disk. Burb, but why does it swap so much... The question I have now Will try to investigate and stuff... But, of course, adding some RAM is the best method.

Thanks for your help.

Too many programs open. Firefox itself uses 100-200MB of RAM so... You might wanna use a smaller cache, or something. Or get more RAM. Or close some programs, especially memory resident stuff.

yesterday i suddenly started getting this error (i made a new xp installation and im sure not everything is tuned up), but its definitly not a memory problem for me. i have 3 GB ram.

what i would like to see is utorrent write to the log what resource is it unable to obtain, whether log and verbose are turned on or not.

would definitly point you in the right direction as to what actions you need to take.

It is a memory problem. Or a program (like Maxthon) leaking GDI handles and leaving you without any.

same problem - Error: Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service.

i have bad feeling it has something with miranda im (only these two progs have problem when this happend) - can it be possible ? and solution ...

thx
