jewelisheaven Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 1.5 GiB of RAM... wtf. Did you override Disk Cache settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmalightwave Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 @jewelisheaven:No I didn't do anything like that..--EDIT--Hey I just took a look at the AppData\uTorrent folder.The file size of the resume.dat.old was 1.32 GB.I made a backup of that file and deleted it.Now uTorrent starts normally and works fine.But my download history has been wiped out.I was halfway through a 4.37 GB download and that is nowhere to be found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 If you go to http://xrl.us/AppData and find the uT dat files. How large is resume.dat? Also when uT is open how much RAM does Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) say uT is? Enabling VM Size column helps too. No application can use > 2 GiB of RAM in 32 bit space. Additionally if uT is trying to allocate all the RAM you have you are limited to your pagefile for other existing tasks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmalightwave Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Lol I too was thinking about the resume.dat.old file and checked it out..Is there anyway I could recover what was downloaded of the 4.37 GB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 follow http://utorrent.com/migration_guide.php for the offending torrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well.. how large is the resume.dat and resume.dat.old? You can check out Ultima's editor (below) to see what data is still in them. I would recommend the procedure for backing up settings and then starting uT up again. All you need to do is use Ctrl-D to re-add the torrent, and tell it where the data is stored. Pressing start will check the existing data and you should resume close to where it left off. There may be regression in % due to incomplete blocks being lost for a recheck.Because I'm blind and really LAME today, please forgive the stupidity.I would recommend using RAR compression... I'm not sure exactly the difference between zip and rar on a single bencoded file of that size however I do get 16x compression for my 4MiB resume.dat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 If you have the old resume.dat and a ton of patience, please zip it up and post it somewhere for me to download. I would like to see what went wrong in the file.If you don't have that kind of time or bandwidth, just taking snip of the first few hundred bytes and the last few hundred should be sufficient - let me know and I'll make a little application to do that.

plasmalightwave Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 @jewels:Lol you weren't lame man..thanks for helping me out..I reloaded the torrent and got till what I saved..And btw,does the size of resume.dat.old file go upto 1+ Gigs?Technically it shouldn't,rarely any PC would have that much RAM to handle it..@alus:Ah man I really don't have that much bandwidth..but I'll up the first and last hundred bytes and let you have a look.. --EDIT--I downloaded the Bencode editor and tried to have a look at the 1.32GB file..but in the Logger I get an error saying "failed to decode the file".. I tried both the ANSI and the Unicode editors.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 You could compress it as a rar max compression, and torrent it Heh, wellll I replied but didn't see your edited post. I'd save that resume.dat for posterity personally. I'd LOVE to test it out on Ultima's B.F.E. (link below)... I thought my 4 MiB resume.dat is huge, lol.It's thoroughly understandable that uT would crash in this instance because as it's trying to get the RAM for just the resume, you run out of space... additionally, if you try looking at uTorrent.exe with Process Explorer I'd bet you also reach the 2 GiB limit for 32 bit apps.

plasmalightwave Posted March 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 @jewels:Lol man,is the file worth that much to you guys..if you really want to take a look at it,I'll do that..I'd to terminate utorrent.exe from TaskMan when that error used to pop up,and at that time uTorrent was using only 6 MB of RAM..

jewelisheaven Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Well it's obviously an irregularity. You can check yourself, as Ultima's BFE is in my signature... but I'm guessing alus has an idea of what's going on, so thats why it's only total of about 1 KiB (half from beginning, half from end of file).Completely up to you what you do with it. Would this be the first time uT's been acting up for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted March 16, 2008 Report Share Posted March 16, 2008 Heh, with a resume.dat of that size, perhaps you can make a .torrent of it? (kidding, sorta ;D) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
