uTony Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 1.7.4 fails to throttle itself when the write cache is full, it continues to download and increase the cache until it exceeds the 2GB per process limit, at which point uT crashes. The temporary workaround is to set a download limit of 4000 Kb/s or whatever your disk can handle and turn on limit local peer bandwidth, but this is undesireable as I want high speed local transfers, but I have to limit upload speed to 100 Kb/s during business hours so I dont hog the whole network. This means the workaround slows the local peer transfer rate considerably.BTW the files im transferring are all about 4GB (big lists of prime numbers). I let the File server download them overnight, then my workstation does the local peer transfer to itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Hm. That's odd, as µTorrent *should* be writing to disk every 2 minutes... What's also odd is that people used to report that 1GB was the max µTorrent would hit before it crashed (and I don't recall it ever being "fixed" either) :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Does just turning on "limit local peers" work? uTorrent automatically reduces the download speed when the disk is congested, but perhaps there's a bug where that does not apply to local peers.

Greg Hazel Posted September 12, 2007 Report Share Posted September 12, 2007 Another posibility is that the cache that's filling up is not uTorrent's disk cache, but something else. In the Speed tab "Disk Statistics" view, is the write cache maxed out when this occurs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
