100% Disk Overload

[green tea]

When My DownLoad rate reaches approximately over 400 kB/s, this warning

pops 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.

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.

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 ?

[DreadWingKnight]

Well, if your drives are lapsing into PIO mode, you have more serious issues on your system that may need to be dealt with.

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.

device manager (start - run - devmgmt.msc)

IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers

Properties of each IDE channel

"Current transfer mode"

NOT the drop-down.

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 ?

[DreadWingKnight]

Then the disk overload is likely caused by something else on your system.

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.

i have the same problem but mine reached 780kb+/s then it drops to 1kb/s and stays with the message "100% disk overload" at the bottom of the screen.
