dolbysnoopy Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Using 1.31 b380, sometimes the "Disk overloaded" appears at the bottom, but in changelog, it said it's safe to keep write.queue.size to -1. Is that true? My line speed is 3Mbps only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Slow disk? writing to USB (1.1) external drive? Solid state? Performing other disk-intensive tasks (DVD writing etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolbysnoopy Posted December 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Not USB disk, it's internal IDE HD supports UDMA. The system/disk is in very low usage. The overloaded message is just appear sometimes, not always (when dl speed rise to >250K/s). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dym Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 it happens to me everytime dlspeed gets above 500kb/secs (v1.3.1 377 and 386. very strange cause bitcomet made up to 5mb/sec to that usbdisk without any problems.it doesn't happen with vers 1.3 but with that version, memoryusage explodes...guess utorrent is crap for people with fast connections :/and write queue size doesn't help at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Maybe µTorrent has a bit of trouble writing to external media, like USB drives etc., but I wouldn't call it "crap". :mad: A lot of sweat, tears and blood went into µTorrent to make it what it is now. Show a little more respect! Also, if µTorrent ain't working for you, no problem bro', just stick with BitVomit. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 You sure do incourage us to help you, dym. What write queue sizes did you try? I've already seen people with 10mb connection succesfully use their BW with uTorrent. Not 100% if any used external media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earle1112 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Happens to me too... NOT writing on external Media... using a a P4EE with 8 SATA 300's running in RAID 0 !!!!!!!!!!!! Ans If UT can overload that Im a monkeys uncle......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolbysnoopy Posted December 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I'm changing back to 1.3 and set queue size to 4096 to fix this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dym Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 tried write queue size between -1 and 32mb and every other setting of the advanced tab but none helped.I apologize for calling utorrent "crap" but every tracker is banning nearly every client out there and utorrent is my last hope for a nonjavacrap and fast client. maybe I should go and curse them disabled read/writecache for the usbdrive and v1.3 seems to work now without abnormal memoryusage. but haven't tried with fast torrents yet. I am going to upload something next week, more testing then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosblade Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Perheps the detection in uT isnt perfect then. The question would be if your harddrive really IS overloaded - Performance seems to drop, or other similar effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earle1112 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Ok Im downlaoding SLOW at 45k atm I have an ADSL2+ connection 24/1 And doing Nothing else Like I said P4EE running RAID 0 again I say if UT is overloading my disk... Im a Monkeys uncle its a UT error not my PC.... Thas for sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Sorry to hear that. Did you already modify diskio.write_queue_size to *32768 in Advanced Options? If so, did it improve? :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulayo Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 I've been downloading at 1MB/s and uploading at 3.5MB/s, and haven't had any problems at all once I set iskio.write_queue_size to 32768. But I find it quite hard to get download speeds above 1MB/s... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Yeah, well...above 1mb/s gets kinda hard, especially if it's not a large swarm...not everyone has access to insane upload speeds like you do... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earle1112 Posted January 2, 2006 Report Share Posted January 2, 2006 Ahh well ist ADSL2+ I get around 22500k Down and 1023k up so spose... And changed the io writes now and seems fine thus far.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dym Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 happened again, utorrent cannot handle more than 1mb/sec down hmpf, have to find another client again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesnothere Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 happened again, utorrent cannot handle more than 1mb/sec down hmpf, have to find another client againThis is not too much of a pain for me, but come to think of it, I have seen that message on the status line sometimes, when my overall download speed was getting up there.However, generally, if I set the max D/L speed to around 100KB (1.25 Mb), it would not occur very often.(My DSL itself is officially 3Mb Down & 800Kb Up)One more thing in my case - I AM lately downloading to a local Network drive, and that too can cause a bottleneck at times, fer sure !

dolbysnoopy Posted January 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 Me too.. setting 32M is quite large for me and I just experimenting 8M now. -1 doesn't work good anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dym Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 bitcomet waits if the harddrive can't keep up (the program hangs) and continues when all data is written. utorrent v1.3 seems to keep unwritten data in memory -> huge memory usage.v1.3.1 (all betas) are getting the "disk overloaded" issue as soon as the harddrive falls behind.you can set the cachesize of bitcomet to >50mb and the program can handle it (although downloadspeed may drop). it just writes each time the cache is full and stops all download/upload activity until all data is written. utorrent just doesn't care.

dym Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 i guess >1000mb is like a memoryexplosion?! plz read the whole thread and stop spaming?bitcomet has no problems with 5mb/sec! hmpf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordcrabby Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 sorry if thats not to your licking, just try it on another drive, i dont have a problem with you , there is only so much µt can be responsible for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pawq Posted January 5, 2006 Report Share Posted January 5, 2006 With sadness I must say that my uTorrent is hardly overloading my disk too. Not only lights up "Disk overloaded" but truly & heavy increases the disk usage (HDD LED is totally turned on and I hear the seeking in HDD). I've changed diskio.write_queue_size to *32768 but it doesn't help. Only the inscription "Disk overloaded" is blinking not so often as before this change. I've tested the 1.3build364 and latest beta (389)I think that this problem happened in maybe last week or two. With earlier versions it was OK with disk usage, but I dont' remember with what wersions. I will try with older versions but it is not so right way to solve this often (like I see) problem...Regards - PawQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
