Update to the problem. if you stop the file from Rechecking the problem is still there. but,

if you remove the file, I am able to upload at full speed again.???????

Very Strange. I Hope that this will help in making a so so diagnosis on the

situation!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank You.

Are these torrents all on the same drive?

If so, it may just be your drive is really slow!

Switeck. Funny that you would say that. I got to looking at everything and

trying to figure out what had happened. everything was working fine but now, I can

only do one thing at a time. So I got to thinking and figured out that, My problem

started after my usb/pci card had went out for my External Drives. I actually took

the drives and plugged them into a generic 1.0 4 port Hub and plugged the hub into the

front of my computer. The Port was way to slow and my drives were bogged down.

I Ran into a serious Bottlenecking problem on my usb drive........ so, I took the utorrent.exe file

off of the External drive and put it on my C drive and then started downloading also to my C Drive.

Problem cleared it self and I am back in business. I went today and bought another

USB/PCI Card and I am going to install it later tonight. I will post back and let everyone know of the

results. Also, I had this problem once before. but, i found that I had so many external

devices to my Server that I didn't have a Strong enough Power Supply. I had a 350watt, Wasnt' Strong Enough. Had to go up to a 480 Watt for everything to begin working properly... Don't know if anyone

have or will experience that but there it is.

I have had similar experiences. My cpu unexpectedly reboot, and uTorrent's resume.dat was corrupted. End result was I had to re-add all the torrents I was seeding and recheck them all.

Rechecking just takes a long time, especially if the torrents are several GBs. uTorrent has to run a CRC check on every piece in the torrent, which is simply time consuming. CRC is a standard algorithm, can't do a lot to speed it up.

Couple that with storing your torrent files on an external USB drive as we both do, its just going to take ages - no way around it. Storing your torrents on an internal drive would speed it up 10x.

I can't even imagine how slow it was over USB 1.0.

(It's actually checking the SHA1 hash, which is slower than CRC)

Good to know.
