Badsecurityforum Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 ... whenever utorrent has to check several GB of torrents my computer becomes unusable.My PC is not brand new, but it isn't slow either with a C2D E6300, 6 GB RAM and a fast 750GB HDD. I never have any performance issues with it. The thing is that utorrent chomps through the data with 60-70 MB/s and doesn't give other programs any time to breath.Even lowering the task priority doesn't help. It would be nice if there is a way to limit the resource utorrent uses.PS: My computer is perfectly stable, but occasionally the power goes out.
Switeck Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 Other apps that are deep-linking into uTorrent may be making the problem even worse.
Ultima Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 There are plans to implement support for prioritized I/O in µTorrent, which came as a part of Windows Vista. The idea is that µTorrent's disk I/O should be relegated to low (or very low) priority, so that it won't choke up other applications that require I/O.
Badsecurityforum Posted February 14, 2010 Author Report Posted February 14, 2010 low priority I/O would certainly a good addition.
rafi Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 an why not just run all uT process(es) in low priority ?
