Switeck Posted November 27, 2006 Report Share Posted November 27, 2006 Hard disk overload is about the only reason I can think of. At the beginning, µTorrent has to very quickly create a large file on disk to later fill with the correct data as it downloads. At the end, µTorrent has to hash all remaining in-ram pieces of the torrent and copy them to the hard disk...and may be trying to do too much at once.µTorrent's ram cache settings has some effect on this, as does the advanced settings concerning compact_allocation, diskio.flush_files, diskio.sparse_files, diskio.use_partfile, diskio.smart_hash, and diskio.coalesce_writes. I don't know what settings changes there are least likely to cause problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiltman67 Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 I've closed Real Scheduler (Which Real really don't seem to make easy to do) and so far I've been able to download 1.37GB without any freezing, hopefully this'll continue. Thanks for the help in the mean time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamthemute Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 So I've successfully downloaded 3 albums without a freeze so far. I disabled a couple processes (google toolbar is the only one I remember). We'll see what happens and thanks a bunch for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiltman67 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Well the problem has continued.It's frozen several times tonight and I've noticed a pattern forming. Each time I restart the machine and µTorrent it appears to freeze quicker. I may be wrong on this and I am making the judgement based on one day alone but it seems to make sense from what has been said about the router.Does this seem like it may be part of the problem, and if so are we any closer to working out where the problem may lie?

bontakun Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 Sorry to revive this dying thread, but to help the OP, I suggest updating your Dlink NIC drivers. I used to run a Dlink DWL-G510 card and had this exact problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 µTorrent launching at windows startup can sometimes launch before/while other important DLLs/apps have run.So there's either cpu/ram/hdd bottlenecks with everything wanting to load at once, or some critical networking service hasn't fully loaded before µTorrent does...which causes either an immediate or later crash.
