dickyboy Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hello to the group I am in need of some asistance please! I am not a PC guru nor do I profess to be but have downloaded and installed U Torrent recently and set it up using some online guides and it was working fine (or so it seemed) and was getting download speeds up to 3MB/s until the other day and now it is saying network error cannot read to disk or the other one says cannot write to disk PC is brand new and as I said the torrent client was working fine!! How can I resolve this issue and get it back to downloading?? I have included an attached pic of what I see now!! Please give me some suggestions bearing in mind I may need gentle treatment! TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Where do you see *network* error? I can see only disk I/O errors... Make sure your have a valid download path, and full access to your download location/path (or try run utorrent "as-admin" ). Also make sure that specific disk is not full .

dickyboy Posted May 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Hi Rafi plenty of disc space left (see pic) and U Torrent was working fine then stopped suddenly which is when I started to see it looking like the previous pic!! So I cannot understand what changed it especially when it was downloading at between 2.5MB/s to 3MB/s and now nothing!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 28, 2021 Report Share Posted May 28, 2021 Check UI settings->when adding->show options. With a new torrent, post a screenshot of "add-torrent" dialog . It shows the space it thinks is free, and the drive it uses ... + the Pref.->Directories tab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyboy Posted May 29, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 Hello Rafi when I went thrpough the ppppprcess of adding a new torrent to my PC this is what came up which is what I think you are referring to yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also has multiple files, so sub-folder names can be problematic (post the files tab) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted May 29, 2021 Report Share Posted May 29, 2021 PS: One workaround might be download to a local drive and specify a path to move torrents to that network drive AFTER completion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dickyboy Posted May 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2021 Hi Rafi your suggestion worked mate I downloads a very large torrent and saved it within Utorrent to a local drive on my PC and then transferred to to my WD My Clud and it never missed a beat so don't know what is going on there as all my torrents used to download to the NAS before without any issues but now decided to not work anymore but hey this will also work and don't mind this if it is going to work!!

Any strange path-name(s) in that torrent, maybe including spaces? WD might have changed something in their HDD emulation firmware/software, that is not fully compatible with Windows...
