green tea Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 When My DownLoad rate reaches approximately over 400 kB/s, this warningpops up and then all of the active torrent rates fall down instantly. I'm worried if there is any errors happening in the downloaded content everytime this happens. Please help me avoid this, if this overloading results in corrupt data. Thank You.

DreadWingKnight Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Overloading results in erratic transfer speeds, but not corrupt data.If you are getting disk overload that low, verify that your IDE channels haven't lapsed into PIO mode.

green tea Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Thanks for reply, If You are sure about not resulting in corrupt download then, I don't really care about a few seconds of delay. Are we sure ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Well, if your drives are lapsing into PIO mode, you have more serious issues on your system that may need to be dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
green tea Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I see, However I have no enough information on how to deal with all these IDE channels or PIO mode. I guess I'll go on like this till my horse dies. As far as I don't get erratic data in my downloads. Really thank you for sparing time for me.

green tea Posted February 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Current transfer mode for channel 1 is ultra DMA mode 6 for channel 2 is ultra DMA mode 2 They didn't turn into PIO mode. Is that all right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Then the disk overload is likely caused by something else on your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ammonjerro Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 I cant find any information on Transfer mode in my SATA Controller properties. Used regedit and SCSI Port 0 DMAENABLED is set to 1, so I guess its on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
