1c3d0g Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Try this: Options ▶ Preferences... ▶ Advanced Options: · diskio.flush_files = *true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Raise diskio.write_queue_size to 2* your download speed in kilobytes. That should solve your memory problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hace Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Raise diskio.write_queue_size to 2* your download speed in kilobytes. That should solve your memory problem. Second that, very good suggestion, solved all my problems with memory and speed (now I get max all the time)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trix Posted October 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Firon actually that helped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 To all the people suggesting the use of the diskio.flush_files option... if I'm not mistaken, that does nothing to lower "Mem Usage", but rather, the cache usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfire Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 With diskio.flush_files turned off, uTorrent will not write files as often when the disk is being accessed heavily. With it on, it will periodically write the cache to disk without fail. If your hard drive is being accessed a lot with the option turned on, it will keep adding data to the cache until it gets a chance to write it, causing your mem usage to skyrocket holding the data.EDIT1: Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 The system cache usage will go up, not uTorrent's actual memory usage. The two are not one and the same, although diskio.flush_files does help.diskio.flush_files has nothign to do what what you said, all it does is close open file handles every minute to prevent windows from caching the files uTorrent accesses. The amount of writes uTorrent makes has nothing to do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Anyone who's going to tell someone to turn the diskio.flush_files option to *true should probably first ask if it's the memory usage reported by Task Manager or if it's the fact that the total free RAM is going down (while µTorrent is only taking a few MB of RAM).@silverfire: If I'm not mistaken, what you're talking about is the diskio.write_queue_size option. That option sets how often µTorrent writes to disk (when the amount in RAM fills the size specified, it gets written to disk). I recall the devs saying that the cache usage was increasing because µTorrent never closed the file handles (not because it was holding all the data in RAM).
