V1.8 Stable IO error on network disk, works fine on 1.7.x versions

[BuzzardHawk]

I've tried your suggestion.

diskio.coalesce_write = false

checked write cache enable

checked read cache enable

checked windows write cache disabled

checked windows read cache disabled

These settings do not work. The same problem occures when downloading to NAS.

When downloading torrents to multiple local harddrives there are no IO errors,

however uTorrent seems to freeze network trafic all together!

I notices this while playing music from the NAS.

-The network monitor flatlines!

-Windows mediaplayer stops lost connection.

-Internet pages will not load, no connection.

-uTorrent will not respond.

-Switching windows application is slow.

-CPU usage NOT 100%

Afther a few seconds 10 20 seconds everthing resumes.

When pausing all torrents no problems occure.

This recent bug makes uTorrent useless, i've used it two years with no problems untill now.

Hope this info is usefull...

Error:64 is ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED, "The specified network name is no longer available."

It seems unlikely that this would be new in uTorrent 1.8

What are these errors? I've seen those twice and the torrent download stops when it happens.

[Greg Hazel]

112 is ERROR_DISK_FULL

If the disk is not actually full, try lowering diskio.coalesce_write_size to 524288

Got new laptop (AMD Acer Extensa; XP SP3, wireless g, NSLU2, samba mounted drive), put in new utorrent 1.8 and 1.8.1 and still get the IO Error from my NAS. Re-downgraded to 1.7.7 had to recheck all my torrents but no more IO error.

[Firon]

When you tried 1.8.1, you tried 12323 in particular? ALso, try tweaking the coalesce write size. Or maybe even disabling coalesced writes.

I'm facing the same error:

[2008-10-16 13:04:13] IO Error:64 line:370 align:-99 pos:-99 count:131072 actual:0

[2008-10-16 13:04:13] IO Error:64 line:650 align:512 pos:6726540855 count:16384 actual:0

I tried to download a big torrent in size of 320gb. At some point it got corrupted and every time I do force re-check I get the same (same error, line, align, pos, count, actual values) error above. All of my torrents are directly downloaded to my NAS (5 hdd 1tb in RAID-5).

I tried to disable Windows read/write caching, coalesce_write false, tried changing other advanced options related to io but nothing worked. Force re-check on older uTorrent version 1.7.7 doesn't seem to help either.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks

I have a sumvision NAS drive, and i'm using the samba share.

To make this work correctly I only had to do the following two steps:

Uncheck - "Enable caching of disk writes"

Uncheck - "Disable Windows caching of disk writes"

I am using uTorrent 1.8.1

[apache024]

can someone help me, I keep getting a "the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error" and ave to restart the torrent over and over.

[DreadWingKnight]

And does the "Save as" location exist?

[apache024]

I uninstall 1.8.1 and re-install 1.7.7 and still getting the same error I/O device.

[moogly]

When we say you downgrading is not an optimal solution...

[Firon]

Are you saving to a drive letter that exists or not?

Don't downgrade. That's never a solution.

NAS fixed.

[laclerge]

so is there a solution to this?

i tried the - Uncheck - "Enable caching of disk writes"

Uncheck - - "Disable Windows caching of disk writes"

RE: error 1168 line 374

i was using 1.8.1 ... upgraded to the 1.9 beta, and am still having the issue ... just using my normal C drive, but the files are stored in the vista/win32/music folder (if that matters)

now i'm thinking of downgrading (i know it's not an option lol, but what is?)

... and i'm just trying to seed something that i know "was" 100% , but now even doing the recheck says i've only got 46.9% of the file(s) which i know is false

(i've been getting other probs with these last 2 builds too, but i'd be happy to figure this out first)

on a good note this is the first prob i've ever had with this program in all the years it's been around

[indychilln]

I found the same error happening after I got a similar message. I tried everything, from router, to nic, to HD and nothing changed.. But, after going through my event log I noticed a .dll error and that dll was associated with my Anti Virus (Threat Fire). I uninstalled AV and now have no problems. Although, this still does not completely rule out a bad sector on my HD. So, go through event log and look for constant errors that happen when Utorrent throws an "access denied" or a I/O error in the log. Hope this helps...

Similar issue on 1.8.5 with WHS NAS. Has this issue been resolved? I assume not?

[DreadWingKnight]

Your error is different from the ones above.

[answera]

I have the same "IO Error:64" errors, also evident only when I d/l to NAS. . This seems to be the same as a number of other people are reporting on this thread, but I am using a much later version of uTorrent. I'm using 2.0.4, build 21586, and still have the same problem (I'm really not sure why DreadWingKnight thinks IO Error 64 was not reported in this thread; although it was not the first IO Error code reported).

I understand from the previous posts in the thread that IO 64 refers to an unavailable network resource, but I can assure you that my NAS is an available network resource, complete with mapping.

As suggested by a few people above, including hm2K, I have tried the following:

Uncheck - "Enable caching of disk writes"

Uncheck - "Disable Windows caching of disk writes"

but some people, including xgazellex, appear to have a problem even after . I have been going now for about 30 mins with the new unchecked options, but I am not sure that the problem is really fixed, particularly since there didn't seem to be some kind of authoritative answer in this thread in which someone was actually able to diagnose and then solve the problem.

So, again, has there been any fix for this? Any idea of what is going on? Is it true that disk cache writing has to be handled by windows if using a NAS disk, for example?
