jewelisheaven Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 What kind of internet (cable/dsl/fiber)? How do you get it(wireless/usb/wired)?What changed around the time your internet speeds lowered to 2MByte/sec from 10 Mbyte/sec ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamxtreme Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 its on a server on win 2003 and it has a 1GB/sec connection and nothing as far as i know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 How much disk activity is there on the server? Are you using cache? I've crashed µTorrent before when I do local peer transfers (10MB/s or better). Usually due to high disk activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamxtreme Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 ah so thats what it is ,yes there is high disk activity and i swiched off "enable caching of disk reads and writes" becuase it kept telling me disk overload and wouldn't move the torrents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 You could try running Defrag (under Computer Management) when you're not running torrents to consolidate your free space. That could help the disk write sequentially instead of scattered writes. If you do not want to use disk cache, you have some hardware options:* Get a better hard drive. The performance of hard drives are not the same, so you may need a high performance drive to keep up with writes.* Run RAID 0 (striped). Two hard drives become one volume so you can double the write performance. This can compensate for poor quality hard drive, but you also risk losing your data if one of the hard drive dies.If you're renting a server though, I do not know if there is much you can do. If you have a lot of RAM, perhaps you can allocate more RAM to your cache and hope the disk writes can keep up. Play with the cache settings and you might be able to optimize based on your current hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Yeah, usually above 5MByte/sec sustained users have at least a 256 MiB cache. I forgot to mention that Thanks hermanm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hermanm Posted July 10, 2008 Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 I only a rent a 10Mbit server with 512KB RAM running Windows 2003. So, I never have these high-speed problems unless I'm doing LAN to LAN. I only wish these were the torrent problems I deal with. 1 Gigabit, OMG!
