debruehe Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 I've got a serious problem: While µTorrent is running, my computer isn't reacting as fast as normal any more. Folders don't open until 30 seconds have passed and also other programs like Photoshop get stuck a lot. µTorrent doesn't use too much RAM or CPU, but slows down my system nevertheless. I don't want to use another Torrent-programm, because of the little resources, it needs, but for a few weeks now I have discovered this slow-down-problem. Anyone here, who can help me?
jewelisheaven Posted January 9, 2008 Report Posted January 9, 2008 Have you followed the steps in the How-To? There are two possible logs you can provide to help others help you Might I recommend Process Explorer first then HiJackThis.For Process Explorer: download zip, unzip, open procexp.exe, Ctrl-L, Ctrl-D, click on utorrent.exe, Ctrl-A, open logfile, copy-paste below For HiJackThis: download, run, save logfile, copy-paste below

jewelisheaven Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Hmm well http://utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_software references Object Dock... I'm not sure how well uT works with windowsblinds, and what is this UltraMon?Also many people have noticed problems with Apple's Zero-Configuration "helper" Bonjour, it injects LSP (layered service providers) which can impact all performance since it essentially adds hops for all connections to get DNS . As far as your HiJackThis log, yup you run a tight ship, except for that Apple Bonjour feature. Could you try disabling each of those extra programs to pinpoint specifically which is exhibiting the slowdown?No worries, you're among the nicest people who ask for help here . Not everyone is polite can you believe that?
Firon Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Doubt it's Bonjour.Have you checked to make sure your hard drives are not set to PIO mode?
debruehe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 Thanks for your help so far... UltraMon is a tool for DualMonitoring. Strange thing is, the problem doesn't occur all the time µTorrent is running, but when it occurs µTorrent is always running and when I switch it off, problem's gone... so the PIO-Thing isn't the problem, I think.At the moment, there's no problem, so I can't try to switch off the other programs as suggested.
Firon Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 The fact that the problem disappears when you close µT doesn't exclude PIO mode from being the cause. Check anyway.
debruehe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 OK, where exactly can I check it? Looked for it in the BIOS, only found a DMA-Option that's set to "Auto"...
Firon Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Device Manager. CHeck the IDE/SATA controller properties.
Firon Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Are you sure that's the actual current mode? As in, not looking at "DMA when available"
debruehe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 Well OK, Primary IDE-Channel No. 1 says for Device 0 and 1 "DMA when available", Device 0 "not applicable" (translated ), Device 1 "Ultra-DMA-Mode 2".Primary IDE-Channel No. 2 Device 0 and 1 "when available" and both "not applicable".Secondary IDE-Channel No. 1 Device 0 and 1 "when available", Device 0 "Ultra-DMA-Mode 5", Device 1 "not applicable".Secondary IDE-Channel No. 2 Device 0 and 1 "when available" and both "not applicable".So what's wrong there - I can switch only between "DMA when available" and "PIO"?I've got only one HD with two partitions.
callous Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 Did you patch the TCPIP max halfopened to around 50, from the default of 10 for Winxp
debruehe Posted January 10, 2008 Author Report Posted January 10, 2008 No, I didn't - what's that anyway or how can I do that?
DreadWingKnight Posted January 10, 2008 Report Posted January 10, 2008 It's not a cureall and doesn't apply to your issue.
callous Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 http://www.lvllord.de/?url=downloads〈=enTry it and see. You SHOULD have this done even if utorrent's running fine as without it the connection will slow down.
DreadWingKnight Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Or you could do the smart thing and turn down the halfopen setting in uTorrent. Systems work fine with uTorrent running even without that patch.
ajones81 Posted January 12, 2008 Report Posted January 12, 2008 Possibly oodag.exe 292 O&O Defrag Agent (Win32) O&O Software GmbH putting the HDD under stress along with uTorrent? It boasts of "automatic and self-adjusting defragmentation in the background". :|
