sl2wm Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 I have for a while have had some problems with uTorrent crashing from time to time (maybe about every other day). Also some problems with some torrents halting cause of some error with access to memory (sorry but don't remember exactvly).But today I can't use uTorrent at all. The program freezes after just a couple of minutes and can't even be killed from task manager or process explorer. Seen that some people have hade the same symptoms with Norman Internet Security, but I don't have that program. Actually I have'nt installed anything new today at all. I have run a AVG Anti-Virus scan but it could'nt find anything...EDIT: More info I have now rebooting the computer once more and started uTorrent. It seemed to work for a couple of minutes and seeded at 7MB/s , but after a while all the seeding just dies out. Only one torrent keeps on downloading, at about 30-40kB/s, but all torrents seem to connect to a lot of peers. Also a re-check of a torrent stopped and when I tried to force it doing a re-check uTorrent freezed and cannot be killed again :/Here is a copy of HijackThis log:Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2Scan saved at 13:56:17, on 2009-05-14Platform: Windows Vista SP1 (WinNT 6.00.1905)MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6001.18226)Boot mode: NormalRunning processes:C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\ASUS WiFi-AP Solo\RtWLan.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Messenger\msnmsgr.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Personal\bin\Personal.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\SpeedFan\speedfan.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\Shared Files\brs.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\CyberLink\PowerDVD9\PDVD9Serv.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG8\avgtray.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Live\Contacts\wlcomm.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrent\uTorrent.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Spotify\spotify.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG8\avgui.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG8\avgcsrvx.exeC:\Program Files (x86)\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exeR1 -

moogly Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Can you add Process Explorer log when uT is running please.Don't forget to select utorrent.exe and enable DLL mode (ctrl+d).Guide: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=29748You seed at 7MB/s, it's huge. What about net.max_halfopen in uT (Preferences > Advanced)? Disk cache amount? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl2wm Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Hi, thanks for the answer. The settings in uTorrent should be ok as it has been working with my 100MBit connection for a while now (had to make some changes to the settings from the begginining to not get "Disk overload"). When uTorrent works (as it does for the most) I've been able to download and upload simultaneously at 10Mb+/s.The setttings for net.max_halfopen is 43, cache size is 1500MB (if I have it a couple of hundred MB higher uTorrent crashes when cache fills it up).I actually have found a strange "reason" for this freezing. It only happens when a re-check on a 30GB+ torrent hits 11.9% ! I stopped the download of that torrent and restarted computer once more and now uTorrent seems to be working. Anyone can explain this ??As I said in the last post this total freezing and not being able to kill it is a recent problem, but I had sporadical crashing of uTorrent for a while now.

Switeck Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 "cache size is 1500MB (if I have it a couple of hundred MB higher uTorrent crashes when cache fills it up)."uTorrent, being a 32bit app, cannot handle more than 2 GB of memory space. It will crash trying to exceed that...which may happen before the cache size is greater than 1800 MB. In the past, there were even problems with the cache being larger than ~1000 MB. I am not sure those problems are completely solved.

jewelisheaven Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Sounds like NIC instability. If you're wireless, use the Windows controller, try stopping your ASUS monitor (RTWlan)... and / or see if there's an updated driver for your realtek chipset, try both Windows Update and ASUS' site or even realtek.com.tw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl2wm Posted May 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Since upgrading to Vista a couple of months I had a problem whith my internet connection going down and needing being reactivated again. I solved this by upgrading NIC's drivers from Realteks homepage, so I already have the newest (or at least very new) drivers. As I mentioned, the immediate problem I had today is solved. uTorrent froze on a re-check of a (very large) torrent !? By stopping that torrent uTorrent has been working, and I already uploaded 120GB and downloaded 60GB in the hours since. But I still would like to know why a re-check of one torrent makes uTorrent freeze and impossible to kill ? Also as I wrote uTorrent hasn't been totally stable for me before either, with crashing approximately every other day and I would like that also getting solved, but I guess I'll probably have to come back with some info next time that happens.

Switeck Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 Probably bad system drivers somewhere still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtjohnst Posted May 14, 2009 Report Share Posted May 14, 2009 If you try to re-check it again, does it continue to happen?The problem with computers (and electronics in general), is that something that's 100% perfect might still glitch now or then. If you had a perfect processor (which doesn't exist), and perfect memory (which doesn't exist), and a perfect motherboard (which doesn't exist), and perfect hard drives (which don't exist), given our current way of doing things, sometimes things will still glitch now and then. It relates to the fact that computers work on 1's and 0's and sometimes a 1 just isn't oney enough or a zero isn't zeroey enough, so the computer guesses. If it guesses wrong, things break down. If it's a very critical bit that goes wrong, the application may crash the entire thread, making it impossible to terminate. In that state, it's known as a Zombie Process, because it can't be killed.Now if a problem is reproducible a large percent of the time, there's obviously an underlying problem that's needs to be addressed. To answer your question as to "why", we need to know if the problem is reproducable. If yes, we can troubleshoot it. If not, then.......the why is whatever you want to call it. Voodoo, magic, the demon in the machine, karma, bad luck, etc. I mean, if glitches would happen using perfect hardware given our current level of technology (which most engineers would agree on), then when you have processors that contain page after page of errata (and page after page of undocumented errata) and are STILL the best produced hardware out there, glitches are definately going to occur from time to time.

sl2wm Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Sorry I have been very busy so haven't had time to spare to combat uTorrent.But yes, the problem happens once in a while, that is:1. uTorrent freezes and cannot be killed2. After a restart of computer uTorrent freezes when it reaches a specific percentage in re-check of a file.But now I have an even more serious problem, it seems that uTorrent cannot read and write from harddisk anymore. I've had some problems with "Disk overloaded", when I check with perfmon and in uTorrent Speed-tab it seems that uTorrent is'nt writing to disc at all !? In that situation i close uTorrent but the process is still running and cannot be killed, so a reboot of computer is needed.Today though, I cannot make it work even after a reboot. Re-check of torrents is at 0% and not moving, when I download I fastly fill upp the cache (1GB) and after that get of course the famous "Disk overload" and as usually have to reboot computer to be able to kill the uTorrent process. The torrents are not seeding either, so it really seems like that uTorrent cannot access my harddrives.I really don't know what to do now, I have run chkdsk on my harddrives but that didn't help at all.

DreadWingKnight Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Have you checked your drive transfer modes in device manager? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl2wm Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 Yes I have, and for the most it is working even with a lot of torrents and hundreds of connections in total at over 10MB/s both downloading and uploading. So I really don't think the problem is that.And the problem right now is NOT that uTorrent is writing/reading the harddrives slowly, it seems that uTorrent cant get any access at all to the drives.

DreadWingKnight Posted June 6, 2009 Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 What drive transfer modes are currently in use on your drives? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl2wm Posted June 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'm using UDMA-5. Please trust me, the problem is not harddisk bandwidth. Actually, after a 100:th restart of uTorrent (and that is a reboot) suddenly uTorrent start reading the files (that is start seeding and re-checking). As I can see in the "Speed"-tab it also seems to be writing out data to disc to.Just like that... Weird. But I'm sure the problems will come back. All files have'nt rechecked yet, so maybe I'll get a problem of the first kind to (that is uTorrent freezes when recheck reachs a specific percentage on a specific torrent).EDIT:Argh. Had to restart the computer (cause of an unrelated madder) and now the problem is back.uTorrent seems to be unable to neither read or write to discs.EDIT2: Is there any logs that you can recommend me to check ?

Switeck Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Not that it would be easy to do, I'd try various Sysinternals.com tools (that's where you got Process Explorer from)...FileMon might spot when uTorrent tries to read or write from disk and fails...and maybe even have an error message for why.Windows event monitor might also give clues.

sl2wm Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Since last night uTorrent has been working for this 24 hours like a charm (uploaded 500gb). But now I was creating a new torrent and suddenly all uploads stopped and the download is slowly filling up the cache without writing it out to disk. Also the creation of a new torrent paused (and cannot be canceled either).I'm now looking in Process Monitor, and the only strange things I can see is a couple of :"04:23:31,2978773 uTorrent.exe 4252 WriteFile C:\Users\*****\AppData\Roaming\uTorrent\resume.dat.new FAST IO DISALLOWED Offset: 57, Length: 292 084"This is recurring, but there are much more WriteFile operations to resume.dat.new that have SUCCESS.What does FAST IO DISALLOWED mean ?EDIT:There doesn't seem to be any kind of attempts to read or write any of the data files (that is files within torrents).EDIT2:I rebooted the computer and everything started fine, uploading, downloading and re-checking. I then tried creating a new torrent, and the problem reaccured again. So.. have to reboot again. Totally not cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I don't know how Fast IO relates to DMA or if it's only referring to read/write priority in ram...or something else entirely. Does Microsoft's website have anything about it? (GOOGLE for the win?!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 Nah, fast IO disallowed doesn't have anything to do with it.That's a very strange issue. Can you post a HijackThis log? Are you using the latest drivers for everything, particularly chipset drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sl2wm Posted June 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I just tried to run Hijackthis while uTorrent was in this strange mode, but first i got an error halfways (which I took a screenshot of, but onfortunatly forgot to save to a file :/ ). I then tried a couple of more times and didn't got the error, but Hijackthis just froze at this point :O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DAEMON Tools Lite] "C:\Program Files (x86)\DAEMON Tools Lite\daemon.exe" -autorunI now rebootet the computer and haven't yet startet uTorrent, and Hijackthis runned smoothly.
