pontus_p Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I just moved to a place with proper broad band (before was ADSL), so my upload bandwidth is 2-3mbytes/sec or so (before it was limited to about 256kbyte/s). Now, when I have say 10 torrents uploading at a decent speed, I see my physical memory slowly filling up until it reaches 95% (of 2gb) and the system turns sluggish. It's not really a problem, since all I have to do is stop all but a few active uploads. Still, it would be cool if there was a quick simple fix so I could have a few more torrents uploading this fast. (Im running Vista 64-bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 How sure are you that your transfer speeds are measured in *byte/sec? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Nope, the point is the vista built-in disk cache eats the ram because it's stupid.Bypass it. Preferences - advanced - disk cache. Enable the last 2 options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switeck Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 Even though it's off-topic, it may help you later...2nd link in my signature gives suggested settings for uTorrent based on your max sustainable UPLOAD speed.NOTE: Max sustainable UPLOAD speed is far less than max download speed for most connections.
