... Why is this a problem? If you don't like it, turn OFF write out finished pieces immediately in Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk Cache.

"... Why is this a problem? If you don't like it, turn OFF write out finished pieces immediately in Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk Cache."

The option you mention is turn off already, the problem is utorrent now only use about 2MB's write cache instead 64MB, that mean it write more often on my hard drive. Someone please help me, I'm greatly appreciate. Thanks.

Hmm, you tried turning off "reduce memory usage when not needed"?

"Hmm, you tried turning off "reduce memory usage when not needed"?"

Thank you for your answer again, but I didn't turn on that option too. Please check my picture on my sitting. Thank you.

I still don't see any problem... You are reading into your cache 63 MiB, your write cache is 1 MiB currently since the cache for uTorrent encompasses both. You set it at 64... what do you expect?

The write times are emptying so you don't have unnecessary transfer. Notice each gridline is 1 minute, so it's closer to every 20 seconds, which is what it is INSTEAD of 6 seconds when you have "dump pieces to disk immediately" enabled.

My apology that I didn't explain clear, so I add another picture that I found as a example what my original write cache look like, as you can see the ration difference. Thank you for your answer. But I still need help.........

I don't see where you're getting these % numbers from.

"I don't see where you're getting these % numbers from."

My write cache ration: 1837 is about half of 3712, so they are 50%

To Cache 3712

To File 1837

His write cache ration: 7072 is around 4.7% of 149459.

To Cache 149459

To File 7072

how often ut dumps to disk depends on your download speed, though at certain intervals it will do it anyway.

"how often ut dumps to disk depends on your download speed, though at certain intervals it will do it anyway."

So are you say it has nothing to do when I enable "lock pages in memory" use pcsx2? But why they suddenly so different? I was downloading a file before and after the change, and the speed didn't seem change but the ration change. Is possible for you to do a test or can you please help me find a way switch the function in Vista Home? Thanks.

No, it shouldn't have anything to do with that function. We don't lock pages in memory.
