Jetboy Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I have a new i5 6600 with 16 gigs ram and a 240 gig ssd and a 2tb HD. I am using utorrent version 2.2.1. I have a new cable modem surfboard sb6190 and a n900 netgear router. My internet speeds are 30 mbps down and 6 mbps up. I am using windows 10. I like to play videos as I download but I am getting computer slowdown and audio with static. If I play a youtube video I also hear static. I checked task manager and my cpu utilization is 82% with utorrent at about 30%. What should I set utorrent parameters to? I am using 100 max /30 max peers/8 upload slots. Or is it a build error? I am using the ssd as the download target. I also thought it could be the utorrent disk cashe so I manually set it to 256. Seeding does not effect the computer performance, just running a new torrent and downloading causes the problem. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I am using utorrent version 2.2.1. You are using an unsupported version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I was using the latest build of utorrent and went back to the old one to see if it made a difference. I'll switch back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetboy Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Ok, I cleared out all my setting and loaded version 3.4.5 build 41865. The slowdown problem is still present. The problem occurs even when I'm using 1 torrent. My target directory is on the ssd. I show the green icon on the top page for a good connection. My current settings are maximum 2 active torrents Max upload 450 Global max connections 100 Max connected peers per torrent 25 Number of upload slots 8 Disk Cache is on Automatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 19, 2016 Report Share Posted March 19, 2016 How many torrents are you trying to run at once? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
