Disk overload problems, my solution

[skabbfan]

When my DL gets over 2 Mb/s I often get the horrible "Disk overloaded 100%" error and the download stops etc...

Tried increasing the cache all the way up to 512 Mb but still the same problem.

I tried setting the limit DL speed to 1800 Kb/s, no error messages, after a while I looked at the Windows Task Manager and utorrent.exe was stable around 50 Mbs. So I increased DL speed to 2100 Kb/s, waited a little, no error messages.

Right now I'm DL @ ~ 2.8 Mb/s and still havn't had any trouble. Has anyone else tried this?

Looked around but couldn't find any info on this, and why is it now working without any problems? Im not complaining, just curious

I saw this error for the first time just now and I am using utorrent for 2 years. I'was downloading with 300 KB/s at that moment and knew I should dl with higher speed. But for the time I was searching for the solution here the error disappear and now I am dl with 7.5 MB/s. I wonder why this error appear in the first place but I guess my system was really busy at that moment that's why I recieved the error.

My hard disk is 250 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA 7200 rpm.

skabbfan: So unless you hard disk is really really old 5000 rpm hard disk you should be able to dl with alot more that 2 Mb/s if you connection allow it.

Or the data on your hard disk could be very bad fragmented. Try to defragment your hard disk.

If you have 7200 rpm or more hard disk and you cant reach higher speeds than 2 Mb/s and know you can reach more you have a problem. It is not from the program.

P.S.

I am with utorrent 1.7.5
