Firon Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Try adjusting diskio.coalesce_write_size. Halve the value repeatedly and see if it ever works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsadida Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 I went all the way down to 64 with no change in results. I also went up a couple times as well for good measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 And if you disable coalesce writes altogether? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsadida Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Still no positive results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Sparse files off? Compact allocation off?Have you tried using the "bypass windows system cache" options as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsadida Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Both Sparse files and Compact allocation are off. I was unable to find 'bypass windows system cache'. There was the 'disable windows cashing of disk writes' and 'disable windows cashing of disk reads' which were both checked.I just started trying to download a couple larger files instead of a small pack of files. The large files are running for much longer periods before hitting the error. the large 1.3 gig download got to about 43% before tanking while the 28 meg file pack wouldn't even get a tenth of a percent finished before dieing.Edit: Also to note, the large file after being restarted a couple times, really hits a wall at 99.9%. UTorrent starts to download data but then just dies again. It will take a lot of restarting before the download is completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Yeah, those are the two options. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Does it make a difference if the two disable windows system cache options are on or off? Or if µTorrent's own disk cache is disabled? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emsadida Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Looks like disabling windows caching was what was doing it. At first I disabled everything which fixed the issue but created a separate issue with staying connected to small, multi-file torrents. After reselecting the non-windows caching options everything started to work correctly.I've since downgraded back to the current stable version without issue.

spacey6661 Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 I doubt it's hard-drive corruption. I got the error from using a home theatre system to wirelessly watch a tv series (which was at 97% on utorrent) that was on the PC. Everytime after watching it, it happened, then once no matter how many times I re-checked it, it kept saying "element not found" - moving it around in the same drive and re-checking didn't work, but moving it to the desktop and re-checking did work, it finished, then burned it. better to have as many harddrives on your pc just in case...
