sahib Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 that seemed to do the trick firon! though i'd really liked the fact i didnt have to fiddle with advanced settings before. i think alot of people are afraid of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Well, very high download speeds need a bit of tweaking, and usually people who have connections like that are a bit more knowledgeable. The cache system still needs a little bit of work though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 18, 2006 Report Share Posted February 18, 2006 Beta 426 should behave better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk-lt Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Beta 426 should behave better.It sure does! Sure, further observation is necessary, but it does handle read/writes without the usual slowdowns.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Beta 427 is out, 426 had a bit of an issue :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairsil Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 I'd say we bless this topic! Helped me out big time with the Disk Overload-problem.Also thanks to the beta version, which fixed the problem And of course, thanks to the uTorrent team for making a great BT-program!/Mairsil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 So beta 427 is working better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairsil Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Works perfectly. I was using 1.4 build 402 before when I got the overload problem, but I update to 1.4.2 b. 427 and it solved it.I like the changes too Labelsorting is good.

shadek Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Yeah, the latest beta fixed the major problems I had too with overload on the HDD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahib Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I tried dowloading a 7gb torrent and i get 100% disk overload. I use Firons recomended settings that he posted earlier in this thread. I triet defragmenting the drive but it didnt help. I dont have any security applications installed whatsoever.Perhaps i should paste my computer specs if that would help...p3 1000mhz, 256mb ram, 80gb 7200rpm laptop drive.I have no problem downloading smaller files at full speed.

Firon Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Do you have any anti-virus? And is this happening with beta 427? Is it happening when you -start- the torrent for a few minutes or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroameca87 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 i have the same problem, i would dl @ 100kb/s and i have changed the diskio.write_queue_size to many diffrent values. currently iam ussing 50000 as the value. I now dl @ 600kb/s, but my speed drops down to zero and i get the disk overdrive error for a while the it shoots back up. Do i need a higher value? Also is there a way to make it upload as fast? Upload doesn't go above 1kb/s. Also how can i find my true max dl speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 well, your upload problem is a completely different issue. google "download speed test" or something to that effect to test your max download. try several different ones, cause some are pretty lagged..

zeroameca87 Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 ok then, my dl is fine, its 6X faster then it is regularly, but my upload tops out at @50kb/s. I must keep a 1.0 ration but at these odds its impossible, any suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 When downloading at full speed, that eats upload bandwidth, and may make it hard to upload. There's also the fact that you might be connected exclusively to seeds.And make sure you're using beta 427 for your overload problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeroameca87 Posted February 22, 2006 Report Share Posted February 22, 2006 i have set the seeding priority to be higher then the download priority and still nothing, is there anyway to up my upload? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sahib Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Do you have any anti-virus? And is this happening with beta 427? Is it happening when you -start- the torrent for a few minutes or what?No AV, no firewall, no nothing. Weird thing is i if i set the max dl speed to 1000kbps it works like a charm but if i set it to Unlimited i get disk overload even if the total speed is below 1mb/s.I use beta 127.

thargs Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Same HDD overload here. Only have a 512k adsl connection so max out at say 55k. Only started recently. Its a 1.38gig file to a 160 gig WD with 20% left. I tried azureus on the same torrent and all is fine. Wonder what it could be. Didnt want to go back to azureus due to amount of memory it eats....

ottojunk Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 I was getting the "disk overload" message too. The cause was my AV software (Norton AntiVirus 2005) scanning the ZIP file parts I was downloading and bogging down the disks. I hadn't had this problem before. I confirmed that this was the cause by temporarily disabling NAV and my d/l speed shot up to what I have been used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schahzad Posted February 26, 2006 Report Share Posted February 26, 2006 Dear All,I need some serious HELP!I have been using UTorrent for about 2 weeks now.

klas_klattermus Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 i got also disk overloaded using the latest build (1.4.2 build 431)edit: have change value to 80000 , don't know what to put there. i have 100/10 connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 That's a decent value to start with. Just put whatever value stops the overload. I suggest you try using the read cache too. How much you should use depends on how much RAM you want µTorrent to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Perhaps it helps (I have the same problem on one PC!):In an other forum I saw a message, that only with NTFS formatted partitions can save files bigger than 4,2GB.FAT32-Partitions will not work with such big torrents.So I had a look, and mine is FAT32!Could this be true?
