Firon Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Define "high amount."Got a firewall? Or AV? Anything in this list? http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk-lt Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Yes yes yes. I can say it too. My computer dosen't freeze, but it becomes just sooo slow.I have the read cache turned on (and set to 10240), because @1MBs upload rates it's unplesent to have very frequent reads from the HD.I think that this has something to do with the caching system - I got yesterday (for my first time) the "disk overloaded" message - never happened with BitComet, Azureus, BitTorrent, BitTornado... So I would strongly recommend that you look into it - 80% of my tracker's users don't use µtorrent becouse of the system slowdown.Ma specs, if you're interested:WxpSP2 + all updatesNo firewall (behind a linux box), AV:NOD32 2.51.20 (µTorrent is in IMON's exclude list - just to be sure )DFI AD75, 512MB RAM, Athlon 1600+, Seagate barracude 80GB (I guess 2mb cache)uTorrent 1.4.1 BETA build up to 424 (I have now updated to 425, but noone is downloading from me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 sk-lt: well, I've got various people who upload at 9-10 MB/s with µt and have no issues try setting the write queue size to 16384, and the read cache you set is way too small to do anything except cause MORE reads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk-lt Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Frion: ok, i'll try it tomorow... Now it's 23:16 and i'm going to sleep. Thanks for the advice! And have a good night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I'd say to try a read cache of 80MB or more, with your upload speed... Maybe higher if you got the RAM to spare. And of course, make sure everyone is using the beta. In fact, I'd say if you're gonna use the read cache, to not use less than 80MB or so, for it to be truly effective (it's to make sure you got enough data in the cache so it doesn't have to go back to the drive so often) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sk-lt Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 Well... Not 80MB, but i did try changing the value to 35 megs. All I can say for now... "Hey, Superman, I think it worked" EDIT: I tought 80MBs would be just too much. I dont have more than 3-4 upload at one time, and I use 2mb peace size, so ... Well, 80MBs would be in fact better, but i'll try to cope with 35. If the problem persists, I'll just add some more.Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 14, 2006 Report Share Posted February 14, 2006 You can see the effectiveness of the read cache by looking at the statisticsHelp -> show statistics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
