martix Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 How come?Says disk overload and DL is only ~10-20K.Speaking of which - is disk overload responsible for stopping all my seeding(and lowering dl from 500K to these 10-20KB)?So... tell me how to fix this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Is this happening only when you first add a new torrent? What are your disk cache settings like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 martix: are u doing anything else with the harddrive at the same time? Like burning a DVD from the same harddrive that you are also downloading too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martix Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Well I'd guess it doesn't have anything to do with adding new torrents. Its dependent on speed - anytime I set it to unlimited it does that... upload speed falls, DL spikes and falls also to snail pace. But if I limit speed this doesn't happen.And this happens whether I added it just now or has been going for whatever time...P.S. Also - cache settings: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 You need to uncheck most of your cache settings. Turning off the write cache as well as minimizing memory use just serves to cause disk overload MORE often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Eh? The write cache itself never causes more overload. <-- stupidity/blindness/whatever on my part@matrix: What should be disabled are all of those sub-options you have checked for both the read and write caches. Disabling "Reduce memory usage when the cache is not needed" and enabling "Increase automatic cache size when cache thrashing" might help matters as well.

Switeck Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Ultima, I said NOT using write cache should/would cause more disk overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Yeah well, you know what settings he needs better than I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon4 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 10-20K/s? My 386 can hash and store that without an overloaded problem... it's 40K/s that problems start happening. =DWTF though? Are you actually USING a 386sx? Nothing, not even dvd-burning or anything like that, could ever cause a bottleneck that severe. Doesn't make sense. Have you modified any advanced options?

martix Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 No...Bah. I have absolutely no idea whats happening. I even crashes sometimes, freezing windows along with it. I'm beggining to think that the program is not so great anymore...Ok, thats that. I did a little bit of testing. It seems the problem occurs when adding a new torrent only a lot more persistent. There was something in the faq about it, only there it said it will go away in a few minutes. Waited half an hour - well it doesn't! What it usually does is produce these spikes: No matter how much I limit speed(as you see from the graph).What usually fixes the problem is closing the program(waiting some 3-5 minutes for it to terminate the process). Then restarting - a couple of times. And then no matter if everything is going ok, if I add a new torrent it fills the cache(tested with 16-256MB cache) and I get another bottleneck producing the same graph as above. And processor is 3.4GHz Pentium D. I'd guess its no problem even if I wanna DL/Burn DVD's and watch a movie at the same time - tried it, once it gets out of that jam I can do all that stuff at the same time with no problems...Edit: Btw disabling write cache overall actually fixes the problem entirely!

Switeck Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 Sounds like that bug they're trying to fix in the v1.7 betas.I don't really know enough to describe it further since it doesn't happen to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 What kind of hard drive are you using? Do you have "pre-allocate all files" enabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 It seems you are suffering from the same thing we had a topic about a bit earlier:This resulted in a bug report (topic is linked here):http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=21803Dunno if the devs have looked at it yet.

martix Posted April 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 I don't know. I have tried with diffrent speeds, but still happens.And no, I don't have pre-allocation enabled. Should I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Yes, try it. Although it might not help it won't hurt either (unless you have HD space problems) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
