Ihsahn Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Hi.Im on a 100mbit line and Im downloading between 2 and 5 mb/sec.This grinds my laptop down to a complete halt almost. My HD just keeps grinding away.If I used my laptop HD I would understand, but Im downloading to my USB 2.0 disk and it is usually much faster than a mere 5 mb/sec.Does uTorrent store on my laptop HD first and then transfer to the USB disk? If so, how can I work around this problem? I have already set all foldersettings in uTorrent to folders on my USB disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 14, 2006 Report Share Posted October 14, 2006 Random reads/writes all across a filesize that may even be 1+ GB.Through a serial 1-bit-at-a-time connection. (USB = serial, it's a shared bus too -- so more than 1 USB device connected reduces the max reachable speed immensely.)...is going to bottleneck something fierce when you're doing 2+ MB/sec.
