ICleolion Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I believe it means your harddrive is having trouble keeping up with your download speed. If you alter the diskio.write_queue_size = -1 in advanced options to a value 2 to 4 times your maximum download speed, it may stop it from happening. So if your maximum download speed is 1024, then set it to 2048. Don't set it below 2048 or above 32768. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICleolion Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 What is your max upload speed? Is your upload cap set to 80% of your maximum upload speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyB Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I have the same issue with V 1.4 and this did never appear with earlier versions.I tried to set the write_queue_size to 200 while downloading with 270kB/s, but there was no change.What's the default buffer size?I'm pretty sure it is the KAV Virus monitor, which is checking the data in memory,but as I mentioned, I did not have that issue with earlier versions.Anybody an idea?Rgds.JohnnyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 default is -1, you can choose it and press reset to get the default you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 I know that the default is -1, but how much buffer space is it.Meanwhile it figured out that 1.4 runs in high utilization before the disk overloaded appears.It takes up to 99% of the CPU time and seems to block the Disk I/O and by the way the whole system.I went back to 1.3 util this has been fixed, no issues so far with disk overloaded.Rgds.JohnnyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 -1 is automatic, based on your speeds. You don't have an anti-virus do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyB Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 Of course I do have an anti virus monitor running, AVP.But it did not make any trouble with 1.3 and earlier versions.Rgds.JohnnyB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 12, 2006 Report Share Posted January 12, 2006 How weird. Try setting diskio.write_queue_size to 16384 and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyt Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have the same issue (XP, Bitdefender v9, max up/dn 75/150). Setting 16384 seems to help (no reoccurrence after a couple minutes, it was happening every 30s before) but one has to wonder why 1.3 didn't exhibit this behaviour I have no issue with cpu load at all but I have only 2 seeds/1 leech at the moment.

Firon Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 BitDefender 9 has various issues with µTorrent, you should use another firewall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormhole Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Wormhole: Maybe worth trying yours at the max 32768.ok, I tried that and it worked.. no more diskoverload! but I only tried it with two files, then I went down to 16384 and it also works!what is better generally.. higher or lower values?*edit*oh, and I set diskio.coalesce_write to true.. donno if this has anything to do with it..

Firon Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Whatever works best for you and doesn't give you overloaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyt Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Firon, I forgot to mention that I don't use Bitdefender firewall, only the AV part. There's definately something strange with 1.4 going on.. I start a new torrent with one already seeding: after 30sec, upload stops completely, only download, then another 30s later upload restarts, and the cycle keep on for a little while... There must have been a major I/O code change to cause many problems to people :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 17, 2006 Report Share Posted January 17, 2006 Can you just try uninstalling Bitdefender and see if it goes away? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
