Xterminater Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Hey all. I am having a really weird problem and I do not know how to fix it at all!! I am using Vista Ultimate with utorrent 1.6.1 and all the sudden I keep getting disk overload 100% in the status bar and my computer like literally freezes then unfreeze then freeze again, and all my download/upload speed stopped. This NEVER happen before!! I'm using a SATA II hard drive to save the download to. I don't get it, why is it happening. I don't have nvidia firewall or anything of that sort.Also I upgraded to 1.7 beta and STILL the same thing happen. I then tried the increasing disk cache to 100mb still doesn't work. I left everything default and it doesn't work either. Please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 What do your cache settings look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted April 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 everything is set to default........ i am on a t3 fiber optic line so download speed is off the wazooo..... so that is the problem I think!I change the settings of global max con. to 300, max number connected per torrent to 200, upload slot per torrent to 8, uncheck turn off read caching when upload is slow and it seems to be stable now.....is this a bug????

I am using:Vista Home Premiumutorrent 1.6.1 build 490on a brand new laptop with a 7200 sata harddrive...It has newer happened before, but tonight it happened all the time when downloading at speeds of 3-500kb/s.

M1947M Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Suddenly I am faced with I think the same problem. No torrents can be started or resumed becaues I get the error "DISC IS FULL". I beg your pardon? The disc can hold 300GB! It's not even HALF FULL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 Disk is full is NOT the same as disk overload. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1947M Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Would you kindly explain that to me? I do not understand much of the terms which seem to increase in numbers at an exponential rate.In other words, what is my computer - via utorrent - trying to tell me? It says the disc is full. It's not full. Semantics do not matter to me, only a solution matters. I don't care how it is said, please explain what I need to do to correct it.Thank you very, very much!

Xterminater Posted April 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 disc is full is due to wrong hashing so rehash the torrent.... but disk overloaded is a totally different thing can someone please help with this issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 28, 2007 Report Share Posted April 28, 2007 Disk overload means there's too much traffic for the drive to keep up.Disk full means there's either too much disk space or you're downloading a file too large for your filesystem.

kahoona Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 May I please advance a theory about this? Please tell me what you think. I have noticed this also. Although I have a connection that often yields 10 megs I cannot download at more than 1.4 megs for long without getting the Disk Overload 100% with the related drop in UL and DL to around 0. I have SATA 1 capabilities and WD 7200 rpm drives and I believe that I simply exceed the drives ability to write data with multiple sources to multiple files. Is it like when you are transfering a large file from one disk to another and then you add another transfer and the whole thing bogs down? If I make the Global limit 1400 there is no problem. This is rarely important anyway since my provider only gives me about 100kB and one must keep the ratio above 1 therefore I have 14 tiles as much DL as UL anyway.
