utorrent 1.8 memory problem with windows disc cache read/write checked


bubulix

Recommended Posts

Dear Friends

I have started to use utorrent about 2 years ago and some months ago i have taken the decision to upgarad to Vista X64 and utorrent 1.8

After reading the forums about the problem of memory " full " i have checked both "disable windows caching of disk read/ writes " in options/advanced/ disk cache

I can see that the problem does not apear to be apearing unless i start downloading at high speed more then 2-3 torrents. ( i have somehow unlimited speed since i am a network administrator ) So if i am carefull and start downloading only 1-2 torrents ( witch goes in few seconds up to 100 mbps ) then I have no problem. But if i start more then 4-5 torrents my RAM is quickly going to 99% and utorrent is using about 7.5GB ( that i can see in task manager )

This problem did not appear with winXP and utorrent 1.7x

I must state that when the memory is up to 7.5GB used by utorretn I must try to close the utorrent process. In this case the memory drops to 0.8Gb in few seconds.

I have tryed to change the CPU to E6750 or E8200 or E8400 but with no efect. I have also tryed to download to differnt HDD since as i have stated i have plenty. But same problems appear if I try to download more then 2 torrents at high speed. I have even changed to 2x1GB Geil dragon edition. Same problem.

hardware : Asus p5q Pro, Intel Q9550, kingston 4x2GB cl 5, 2x1.5 TB Seagate + 2x 1TB Seagate + 4x1TB WD EACS

win: Vista X64

i will not downgrade since I want to support utorrent. I do not blam anyone but maybe you can help me with a windows tweak or utorrent tweak.

Thank you and HAPPY NEW YEAR.

I will first start to thank you for the fast reply.

Second of all please see below the process explorer under only only 2 started torrents downloading with around 8MB

In task manager utorrent is having 150MB

also if you can please be so kind and guide me trough this other advanced options :

1. override automatic cache size and specify manually - unchecked

2. reduced memory usage when the cache is not neede - unchecked

3. enable caching of disk writes - unchecked

( both opions below unchecked )

4. enable caching of disk reads - unchecked

three optios below unchecked

5. disable windows caching of disk writes - checked

6. disable windows caching of disk reads - checked

If you feel like any other options should be checked or unchecked please let me know.

I will start in a few minutes a lot of torrent download with only 2GB of ram on my system and also send you the process explorer.

I have the same problem. When i copying big files (>3 Gb), with running utorrent 1.8.1, memory usage 99% and OS not responding (only moving cursor and switching numlock, capslock).

In resource manager

without copying parametr "page errors" 100-300 (utorrent)

with copying - 10000-30000 (utorrent)

Without running utorrent files copying normaly.

hardware: msi p35 neo2-fir, c2d e8400, kingston 2x2gb, samsung 4x500gb -> raid10

OS: vista x64 with last updates

Same problem - I think!

Running 1.8.1 with the options to disable win caching DISABLED.

Whenever uTorrent is running, unzipping large files slows to allmost a complete stop.

Tried DL'ing the latest version of "Vuze" - It sucks, but the problem goes away. I really like uTorrent, so I hope this will be fixed quite fast!
