xfangx Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 As fas as i know, utorrent checks the files while downloading them.Well, if i download at more then +5 MB/s, i get to 99% an then i have to wait, at least 1 minute to hash something, onces i waited 5 minutes i think.At 1 minute i didn't meant large torrents, some around 700 mb.Whats the problem? And something else, when I'm downloading 2 torrents and they're accumulated speed is around 10-11 MB/s , utorrent crashes.And, I'm uploading at 11.4MB/s but works fine...The problem with the hash and the crash is from my hdd, or?

jewelisheaven Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 What version are you using? Use Alt-H-A . Have you re-sized the uT cache to allow buffering of that large amount of data?There has been some improvement in uT to handle > 100Mbit symmetric connections in 1.8. It also has functions to bypass Windows cache which appears to "bloat" uT's operation of uploading/downloading files. If you'd like you can check it out and even run it as it's own folder http://utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_share_my_torrents_between_user_profiles.3F to keep the settings separate?

xfangx Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 it happens in 1.7.7 and in 1.8, and the settings are separate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Without more information and/or the .dmp files I don't know what else to say. In 1.8 you have the option under Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> Disk Cache to bypass windows cache of reads/writes. People report being able to put 27MBps through uT that way, iirc. The process of data buffering starts when you have slow disks.... Usually windows buffers this data (increasing your used VRAM) and then clears it when the operation is done... which can be problematic when the files are multi-gigabyte behemoths. uT also has a cache for its data transfer which can be accessed via Speed tab -> Disk Statistics. You see current cache usage in the bars there. You didn't mention the cache uT is using? Also have you disabled either windows cacheing option in 1.8?

xfangx Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 well, here it's something, if i let the ones advance -> disk cache checked (1.7.7) he does the checking in the same time with the download, but, my download is not going upper then 4 MB/s ...

jewelisheaven Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Sounds like hard drive bottleneck in that case. Are you reading and writing to the same drive? How large is on-board RAM? What about RAID? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfangx Posted April 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 only one hdd, i have 1.5 gb ram (but i have the slightest feeling that this is not what you asked me) and raid ain't for multiple hdd's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Right. There's not much else you can do if the drive is slowed due to seeking when hashing + downloading + uploading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xfangx Posted April 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Eh, i was going to buy a new hdd this days.Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 In your case, it should be less burdensome on your computer if uTorrent is running torrents spread across multiple drives...especially if those drives are on separate hard drive controllers/cables.
