torrentmexx Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 First, let me say that I use utorrent for a long time now and that I enjoy the program very much. Thanks.I´m running on a W2K3 (SP2) 32bit machine with a transparent 1gbps uplink. Usually, I limit downspeed in the GUI to 300K. Sometimes, though, we are in a little hurry and increase this setting. Up to 1000Kbps it is stable. Around 1500-2000Kbps utorrent will freeze completely after some time (usually, .5-1 hours tops). All files are still opened, but filepointers are not advanced any more and network speed up/down is zero. The process must then be killed as it´s completely unresponsive. The crash is not dependend on how many torrents are open at this point.There is no other software to speak of on the machine (other than PeerGuardian) as it´s a dedicated environment.Please advise.Regards-torrentmexx[hijackthis log]Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2Scan saved at 11:40:59, on 28.10.2008Platform: Windows 2003 SP2 (WinNT 5.02.3790)MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16705)Boot mode: NormalRunning processes:C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\inetinfo.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\rdpclip.exeC:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exeC:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXEC:\Program Files\Java\jre1.6.0_07\bin\jusched.exeC:\Program Files\Iarsn\TaskInfo 7.x\TaskInfo.exeC:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exeC:\Program Files\ut\utorrent_18.exeC:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exeC:\Documents and Settings\t\Desktop\HijackThis.exeR0 -

thelittlefire Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Well PeerGuardian is... silly. If you want to block peers, make the list it uses into ipfilter.dat so uTorrent controls who not to connect/receive connections. If PG blocks them, uT just ends up thinking it timed out.You didn't select uTorrent.exe and have DLL mode enabled (Ctrl-D). Please try re-pasting the logfile.Also, uTorrent has no problems with your slow linkspeed. It transfers fine going MiBps, so please include a screenshot of your Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk Cache settings in the next post please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentmexx Posted October 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Just as I was about to send praise, it happened again ;(I terminated PeerGuardian and combined it´s lists into ipfilter.dat, which I then loaded. I set download speed to 10000K and let it run. Effective speed reported by utorrent was between 2 and 4MBps (at 4.3 when it died after ~3hrs). Details:- 60 torrents active. - 1209 open files (incl Endpoints and such)- 2047 open handlesI waited 10mins to give it breathing space to revive, but to no avail.If I may, looking at the aforementioned, 2047 handles looks funny to me. (Programming myself)I´ve saved the complete dumps (TCP connects, Open files/handles, System state, etc) here, but I´m a bit reluctant posting them here. Please PM me, if you might have use for them.One more thing might be worthwhile mentioning: All the files/torrents reside on a remote NAS mounted to a local folder using CIFS.Thanks for reading this....Here´s the dump captured at death time:[cut]Process PID CPU Description Company NameSystem Idle Process 0 88.03 Interrupts n/a 1.01 Hardware Interrupts DPCs n/a 1.76 Deferred Procedure Calls System 4 smss.exe 276 Windows NT Session Manager Microsoft Corporation csrss.exe 324 Client Server Runtime Process Microsoft Corporation winlogon.exe 348 Windows NT Logon Application Microsoft Corporation services.exe 396 0.70 Services and Controller app Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 584 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation wmiprvse.exe 3040 WMI Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 648 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 720 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 760 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 776 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation spoolsv.exe 904 Spooler SubSystem App Microsoft Corporation msdtc.exe 928 MS DTCconsole program Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1116 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation inetinfo.exe 1176 Internet Information Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1240 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation wmserver.exe 1436 Windows Media Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1528 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 1852 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation alg.exe 1940 Application Layer Gateway Service Microsoft Corporation svchost.exe 2648 Generic Host Process for Win32 Services Microsoft Corporation lsass.exe 408 LSA Shell Microsoft Corporation csrss.exe 2092 Client Server Runtime Process Microsoft Corporation winlogon.exe 2120 Windows NT Logon Application Microsoft Corporation rdpclip.exe 2296 RDP Clip Monitor Microsoft Corporationctfmon.exe 2412 CTF Loader Microsoft Corporationexplorer.exe 2420 1.41 Windows Explorer Microsoft Corporation jusched.exe 2504 Java Platform SE binary Sun Microsystems, Inc.

thelittlefire Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 If you don't have a cache larger than 32 MiB... is it being used? Speed tab,Disk Statistics.I don't have experience with CIFS. But if there's a problem with the remote drive, that's what diskio.coalesce_write_size was added for.Are you aware you're running an outdated uTorrent?

torrentmexx Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I retested it today. The number of handles is apparently not the problem as I ran it well past 2,100 at 42Mbps.Disk stats: Read: 0/0kb; From cache: 0; From file avg size 15.9; Hashing avg size 1.44MBWrite: 2MB/0k; To cache avg size 15.9; To file avg size 75.0kSo it´s obviously not the speed nor the handles.I´d be pointing at the NAS, but the share is still there and accessible if utorrent is dead. So this ain´t likely. diskio.xxx is all set to true, anyway.Any other thoughts ?NB. I know that 1.8.1 is there. But since some trackers refuse it and it showed the same behaviour, I stuck with 1.8 ... But I can always test 1.8.1 if that´s of use... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Trackers which refuse to allow 1.8.1 are arrogant and think themselves self-important. What's the reason for allowing 1.8 when 1.8.1 fixes a known problem with it in handling network connections?I still don't see how it's possible you're seeing that transfer rate without any disk overload. Re enable disk cache and set it to like 50 or 100. Are you enabling the windows disk cache bypass for reads/writes ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentmexx Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I concur in the assessment of the trackers. However, if it´s the only tracker for a specific content.... Well, I´m at the short end of the stick.As for the disk caching. I´m not sure, if this in itself might be the problem. Anyhow, the settings in utorrent are: - Override: unchecked- Reduce memory: checked- Enable caching of disk writes: Unchecked- Enable caching of disk reads: Checked- Turn off...: Checked- Remove old...: Checked- Increase...: Unchecked- Disable Windows caching of disk writes: Checked- Disable Windows caching of disk reads: UncheckedThe not happening disk overload can be explained as the files reside on the NAS. I´m not sure, if "Disable Windows caching of disk writes" really disables all W2K3 internal caching functions. So we have at least the NAS (embedded WinXP) caching and then writing the data via a caching RAID controller across striped disks. This alone speeds up things. Then, if the local W2K3 caches, as well, there should be sufficient intermediaries doing the works. Network speed isn´t limiting, as well. There internal NIC is set at 100mbps, which gives us ~80mbps max throughput, which is sufficient for 42mbps of incoming data. Do you think there might be some bug in the handling of writes in this case ?As far as I can diagnose from the outside, it appears to be some kind of deadlock situation where one thread waits for the other. The lockdown is immediate, utorrent still uses some CPU time intermittendly (~0-1.5%), but all network transfer and disk I/O is suspended. This is corroborated by the fact that the GUI isn´t updated any more, as well, and Windoze reports the process as non-responsive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hmm, well have you tried reversing the current settings related to WRITES. i.e. what happens if you enable write cacheing, but DISable the windows bypass of writes since... you've got such a speedy setup Heh, this is "fun" in that it requires much poking to see the root cause of the problem, unfortunate that ultimately the time spent and problem may be something to do with the specific chain of data transfer in your case. I agree that your setup CAN handle the data... what needs to be done though is isolating certain parts of this chain next IMO. Would it be possible for you to try say doing some testing with the various changes you're making to Disk Cache LOCAL and not trying to do any transfer outside the local/internal drives?Also, with this talk of file access.. there is the Advanced option for diskio.flush_files Have you tried adding that to the permutation for "does it work?" lol In cases with the deadlock, since it's only the utorrent.exe process I'm thinking you can capture the process information with Process Explorer, or even Process Monitor from http://sysinternals.com (The former allows to see the call stack, which is highly useful for ... others; the latter allows direct viewing of OS calls... at a price of system RAM and logfile space when logging for a long time however). I am aware you can, with the debug tools installed, cause a crash/dumpfile to be created in a stuck process in windows Vista from the Task Manager. Is this possible in 2K3? If not, there is the command ntsd.exe the others suggest http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=354014#p354014 and http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?pid=316582#p316582 are only two posts a search turns up, but it seems to be the standard syntax.Hoping this problem gets resolved soon :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentmexx Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 It´s fun for me, as well, mostly because it´s rather an inconvenience at times we´d like to accelerate specific downloads. During normal operations it never fails.Unfortunately, I can´t change to local disk as it´s very limited (hence the NAS . What I could do is install a secondary instance and let this work on one or two torrents. This would only work, if I could have separate configurations as the image would reside on the same machine. AFAIK there´s no way to have 2 utorrents running in parallel with different configs.W2K3 has the ntsd command. I´ve installed the debug tools and I´ll try to recreate the deadlock and then pull a dump.As there are many variables (caching etc) for me it´s a little tough deciding which settings to test best, as I don´t have any insight in how these settings actually affect the innards of utorrent. Then again, I´m trying to be of help here as I still believe this to be some kind of buggy behaviour, which should be ironed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Well, I think you missed http://utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_share_my_torrents_between_user_profiles.3FFor the test, I'd opt for the "create blank settings.dat in folder, copy utorrent.exe, start with /RECOVER" but that's just me Copying the resume.dat would mean you have two instances using the same amount of RAM.

torrentmexx Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I did, indeed. Cool. Let me get to it, switch it to local disk and see if it breaks... I´ll be back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Indeed. Good luck. For reference, I wouldn't change anything on the receiving end or whatever you call the copy (with /RECOVER in the command line). At maximum changing only one option iteratively and wait past the time you would usually notice a freeze, if it freezes after 30 MiB, wait until 60 MiB to count those set of settings as "non-causal" or a NEGATIVE result.(Also posted so you can update this thread) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Hazel Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 If it happens again, create a crashdump from uTorrent like so:Vista: right-click in the Task Manager and choose "Create crash dump"XP: ntsd.exe -p 4100 -e 4100 -c ".dump /mf c:\jit.dmp;q" where 4100 is the PID, and c:\jit.dmp is the resulting dump. Post is on zshare.net and link to it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentmexx Posted October 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ok. It broke again. Took about 10mins. This appears to be fully reproducable (which is good).I started a number of torrents users had put in the queue here (never mind the content ). I let procmon run on the process for another 10mins, but there was zero activity.Zipfile with dump, screenshot, handles/dll/opentcp reports is here: http://www.zshare.net/download/50654782f98a6484/This was done using 1.8 on the NAS ! It was easier to perform than the localized test (which I´m still about to do when time permits). As 1.8.1 shows the same behaviour, I believe this test to be conclusive. However, the next test I´ll do with 1.8.1.12639 (just needed the break here to switch the binaries). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 It's not too useful to get the dump from 1.8. It'll be much more useful with 1.8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
