Q2582 Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Somebody please help me I love Utorrent compared to other bittorrent clients This is whats going on I open utorrent and everything works fine after a few minuets i notice the work in progress light on my external hard drive stops utorrent seems to be still downloading fine.Files that i'm downloading say that they are 99.9% percent done in the download window, but when i got to the file window the actual percentage of download is much less, and Utorrent says its downloading but there is no transfer rateand this is happening to each individual downloadI changed the disk cache settings because i keep getting disk overload even though i have a 500 gig external hard drive that my downloads go to that still have almost 400 gigs of free space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 You can't get higher download than Availability*100%. File window? Yeah Files + Pieces = downloaded. The difference is that Pieces are not complete verified data. Disk Overloaded... what are your Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk Cache settings. And how are you connected?

thelittlefire Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Don't do that. Why would you override the default number and put 0, just disable it and DONT have a uTorrent cahe. In either case, as http://utorrent.com/faq.php says your PROBLEM is CAUSED because the DISK cannot keep up wth your speeds. So first try setting it back to 32, and/or disabling it. Then check your Devce Manager > IDE/SATA device channels and check CURRENT TRANSFER MODE. If they are in PIO, you have a problem. Remove and re-add them (you will need to reboot).

When o went into my device manager i have Ide ATA/ATAPI controllers but i do not know where to find device channels so i dont know how to check current transfer mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelittlefire Posted October 31, 2008 Report Share Posted October 31, 2008 Oh, it should just be in the properties for your controllers sorry. You will see 1 entry for each channel per controller. Most controllers have 2 channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
