Sunshine_708 Posted November 7, 2016 Report Share Posted November 7, 2016 Hello, I'm having an issue with adding new torrents and having every torrent decrease afterwards. I know I should see some decrease but not this much. Example: I just started a torrent that is downloading at a rate of 500 kb/s. If i add one more torrent it goes down to 300 kb/s. If I add a third the first file goes down again to 200 kb/s. Now if I try to download say like 10 files at once each torrent will only go about 12 kb/s. In the past before this problem started i could download a bunch of torrents at the same time and they would all go various speeds without constantly losing speed of every torrent. Instead I would only notice a slight loss of speed. Any Suggestions would be appreciated! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have mine set and have no slows downs. I think they are overloading their bandwidth causing the pipes to shrink as a result of being spread to so many torrents.

rafi Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Check with 20G file(s)... All are being zero-ed, regardless of this option and speed is being reduced for a few minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Hobart Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 Does turning off pre-allocation will work for this issue? I wonder, what pre-allocation has to do with the speed slow downs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted November 11, 2016 Report Share Posted November 11, 2016 It should, but I don't think it does. Slowdown is temporary until the file(s) are being allocated/written-to with zeros... Just that the disk is overloaded... plus this new download is pending the allocation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
