Streaming doesn't work for some files sometimes. Let's hope it will evolve in the future. I think this is browser's error message, and it is Russian for you. uT tries to open HTML file in "Get started page" and it has some issue.

Try VLC media player. It is the only player, which allowed me to stream mkv files. Probably because it doesn't read indices, which are in the end of file. By the way, you can switch uT to English while testing, because not everyone knows Russian. I get this message box, when I press About -> Show "Get Started" Page. I close this message box and see next page: http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/2700/getstarted2.png There is some gray rectangle to the left. Tell me, please, how to close this page and return to table with torrents without restarting uT? Left panel is disabled in advanced settings: gui.enable_sidebar_buttons=true.

Let me comment Andre Young's message. I see 3 issues: 1. Read cache is 5MB. Write cache is 32MB. Isn't it supposed to be the same cache and show 32 MB in both places? 2. Hashing is not 0. If there was not recheck, then it may be issue. 3. There is an issue with dropzone. I also have it. This is how to reproduce: put uT in window mode (not maximized). Then decrease uT window height to minimum, so only title is visible. Finally increase window height SLOWLY. Dropzone will have ghost image similar to provided on the shot. If to increase height too fast, there won't be such effect.

Sorry, I was inattentive. You also have issue with huge hashing as pulbitz. I don't know what causes it. It is always 0 for me. It is hashing when I force torrent recheck. Can any uT developer tell, in what situations "Hashing" is used in Read disk statistics besides rechecking?

To Best Disable read cache for now. uT will read exactly that amount of information, which it should send to peers, and you won't have disk overload.

Right click table header (where you see "name"' date=' "size") and select any column you like.[/quote'] I know this but i not have seeds and peers they disappeared. "Peers" and "Seeds" are absent in context menu for header? It is interesting to see a screenshot of such menu. I have this http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/687/peersseeds.png/

Right click table header (where you see "name", "size") and select any column you like.

So pulbitz has issue with huge "Hashing", while nothing is being rechecked, and Best has huge "From File Avg Size" when diskio.cache_stripe=128. Both use uT 3.0 build 25406. Update No, I am wrong. Both have problem with hashing.

Somehow uT is reading intensively from HDD for hashing. If no torrent is being rechecked, then it is strange for me. I hope developers can answer, what is also collaborated for Hashing in read statistics besides rechecking.

Do you recheck torrents after installing uT 3.0? I see you have 2.42 GB hashing and I think it is because of recheck.

Really, you have disk overload (3.94 MB per every request instead of default 128 KB). Are you sure, that you use uT 3.0 build 25406? If yes, what value do you have in advanced options diskio.cache_stripe? gui.show_dropzone=false, although gui.enable_sidebar_buttons=false will hide drop zone too. It can be because channel between you and peer is unstable.

Please, provide a screenshot of disk statistics, while uT is actively seeding (and overloading your disk) for at least 1 minute test.

Disk overload was fixed in RC6 and you can manually control disk usage thought diskio.cache_stripe if cache is enabled. Surely it is gone, because you don't seed, and uT doesn't read any data from HDD.

I see no problem with this. Let me try to clear up things for you. Total amount of bytes read from disk is sum of From File and Hashing in Read Statistics. In your case 367/1024 + 1.58 = 1.93 GB, which is comparable with what Process Explorer provides - 2.2 GB (0.27 GB is read information for other programs). Hashing happens when you force some torrent to recheck. Surely this operation intensively reads information from disk and it happens only for checking already download information with hash table inside .torrent file and you start it manually. In normal cases uT reads from disk only if it wants to get information for peer and such number is provided in From File row. It is 367 MB in your case. Everything, what is read from file is put into cache (if it is enabled, of course), and then some chunk from cache is given to peer. From cache should show how much information uT actually passed to peers. It is 345 MB in your case. You may ask why From cache amount is not the same as From File. It is because uT reads more data from file than peer requested in order to decrease number of disk I/O operations, because there is a probability, that peer will request for that part, which was read from file. In your case uT reads 128 KB for every request and sends 16 KB to peer. There is a probability, that peer will request another 16 KB from these 128 KB. In your case such probability is super great, because From File is almost the same as From cache. I assume, that you upload 1 torrent, which takes small space, because I have never seen such high probability in for my torrents. In my tests uT usually sends 27 KB to peer for every read 128 KB. In your test it is 120 from 128. Lucky you are! If you have read this carefully, now you understand, that uT reads more information from disk, than it sends to peers and it is done only for one purpose - decrease number of I/O operations sacrificing number of read information. The more uT reads from file for every request, the more information it will read from disk in the end. There is a new advanced option in uT: diskio.cache_stripe. It is 128 by default. If you set it to 16, then uT will read exactly the same amount information from disk (or less, if peers request some chunks from cache) as it will send to peers. So you won't have any disk overload. I prefer 64 for this value. I hope this information was useful for you. If not, you can kick me, I don't mind.

Your indignation is understandable. Well, some bugs have higher priority, than others. Those bugs, which crash uT, make HDD overload, highly increase CPU usage or damage settings usually have higher priority than GUI issues like yours. Of course, every bug report is appreciated and will be fixed one day, just developers are not magicians and each has only one brain and hopefully 2 hands, so every bug fix requires own time. From other side, you may use old stable version and wait when uT 3.0 becomes gold. Nobody pushes you to use beta. I think 3.0 will become gold, when developers are satisfied with current state and feel, that there are no major bugs. Probably your bug will be fixed too till release. And I think developers don't deny that this bug exist: rafi admitted it in http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=592418#p592418 and told how to reproduce it.
