pitcold Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Hi, have uTorrent 3.4.5. DL's work pretty fast (have it up to my limit 25 MB/s) but my HDD gets very slow ! Have an up-to-date PC, no matter if I use my internal HDD or an fast extermal HDD with USB3.0 when I copy/move the downloaded files from the HDD where uT saved it to another HDD I never get more than 30 MB/s it gets as low as 10 MB/s. When I copy from a non-uT HDD to another I get between 130 and 170 MB/s. CPU and RAM not at the limit. During copy time uT works fine with good DL rate as said.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Torrent downloading is not sequential. It will NEVER get the full speed of your drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitcold Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 that I understand but even if all torrents are stopped or utorrent closed the HDD is f. slow, so I can copy files only with 30MB/s or lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe because the partition that you save your torrents to is very fragmented and utorrent is unable to store the downloaded files in a sequential manner. Copying fragmented files will be slow.

pitcold Posted January 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 thanks, but this is definetly not the case as I recently formatted the HDD and use a defrag program regularly. Also as said this problem I have is with both HDDs I used for uT (with the first HDD I thought of some special problems or so but with the second HDD (after starting from scratch) I have same problem). I had eMule DLs/tmp files too on same HDD, in eMule I could rather move my mouse cause of all the slow downs, then I removed emule completely from this uT HDD (eMule running on another HDD is fast now again). So uT slows down the HDD, what I do now is to use all night and the time I dont use my PC (but uT ofc) to copy the files with ~15 MB/s speed to another disk. Sometimes the DL with uT is faster than copy files from HDD to another! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Are you defragmenting the files before trying to move them to another drive or no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitcold Posted February 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 now I completely formated the HDD (not in speed mode but in-deep, took 12 hours, a 4TB HDD) and when I copy ow the first downloaded utorrent I have ~ 66MB/s, so it's still about half the speed I have normally when copying files but utorrent DL's where active during this copy, so this is ok, thanks for the tip. Btw, what you mean "defragmenting the files before..." I can defrag my whole HDD (which has only 1 partions) but not single files. So I think I have to defrag the HDD very often because I download ~ 1TB through uT per day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 4, 2016 Report Share Posted February 4, 2016 You're either going to need to defragment or pre-allocate with the no-zero disabled. Keep in mind that disabling no-zero will cause a major performance hit whenever you add a new torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
