studioface Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 can utorrent check each files at the same time after a crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 It's not too great for your hard drive(s) to do that since they have to jump around all the time, and it'll slow down the entire process. It's much better to do one file at a time, not to mention that unless you have dual core and you're only hashing two files, it's much more efficient to hash just one file at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studioface Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 ok i understand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefarious Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 and the answer is nope it cant, only sequential hashing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studioface Posted July 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 but it would be really good if it had that feature though so persons with a faster computer can utilize that feature and speed up time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Actually, no it really wouldn't speed up time. If ludde could do that, he'd be sickeningly rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 µTorrent tries to push hard drives to their speed limits as it is...at least if all your hardware is good.I've seen my file system's read/write speeds peak out well beyond 20 MB/sec while µTorrent was checking my files.

silverfire Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 Your drive throughput can reach hundreds of MB/sec depending on interface type and RAID. SATA II RAID volumes are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 14, 2006 Report Share Posted July 14, 2006 I hash check at about 60 MB/s. Hash checking is generally I/O limited, not CPU limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 A lone hdd currently reaches about 80 MB/sec peak -- most cannot sustain over 40 MB/sec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Mine sustains 55-60 pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper007Bond Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Mine sustains 55-60 pretty well. Yeah, both my 74GB Raptor and my 400GB Seagate manage around 57MB/sec sustained. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Game90 Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 mine does 30MB/s substained, but its a 3-year-old drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 15, 2006 Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Yeah, sure a RAPTOR will!And the newest 300+ GB drives probably will too, since their data density is very high.But even many new computers still come with 200 GB and smaller hdds that maybe aren't that fast to begin with...and even if they are, they are crippled by all the extras many OEMs like to install to give the "Branding" feel.

Firon Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I've got all Maxtors. The 300GB is the fastest, naturally, since it's the newest. The others can still sustain pretty decent speeds (more than 30MB/s anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
