MjW Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I recently moved to a new apartment which has installed fibre wire. I gladly chose a speed of 15mbits upload and 15mbits download.Had some disk overload issues on my quad core, 2GB XMS DDR2 and a 640GB WD which is known for the good performance as a drive so I followed some guidelines around here and gotten it solved. At least I think for now.I run speedtests and they prove right the 15mbit up and down bandwidth more or less, I managed to max my download speed more than I could hope for, but my upload speed is disappointing, usually around 1mbit more or less(usually less).I run a test and tried to seed a torrent which I already had, on pirate bay. Seeds: 234 Leeches: 2635The max I managed to get was 4-5mbits under a very special occasion such as this. Any ideas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 What are your disk cache settings like? Port forwarded and all? What does the Speed Guide show your current settings to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjW Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I have forwarded the right port and it comes up green. DHT is OFF and protocol encryption is enabled.I read somewhere that I had to change the option that is highlighted bellow to solve some of the disk overload errors. I changed the first number from 2 to 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 You read completely incorrectly. Disk cache settings used to be in the Advanced section many versions ago. diskio.coalesce_write_size is different, and should not be modified for this problem. It's for a separate problem, and shouldn't be increased the that level anyhow.Are you still getting overloaded disks? What does the Speed tab's disk cache section show?

MjW Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 I reset the setting back to the original as you suggested. Which is the "Speed tab's disk cache section" exactly?Yes I still get the Disk overload error and still my upload speed is capped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Speed > Disk Statistics in the dropdown, I think is what Ultima meant.How full is your disk cache? It is 32 unless overridden (your 812 is not in effect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjW Posted October 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Didn't get a disk overload error the last 5 minutes though. My upload speed still is low.Here is a screenshot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Try overriding the automatic disk cache size --128MB or something (maybe even 256MB).You might also want to try disabling the "Reduce memory usage" option as well as the "Turn off read caching if the upload speed is low" (not sure if they'll help any).

MjW Posted October 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 Thanks for the help, There are no more disk overload errors.And about my slow upload speed I guess it is not easy to upload at 15mbit speed if there are not enough leeches to download that much. I managed to get 12-13mbit upload while have lots of torrent on for seeding though.Thanks again for all the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
