Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 I left utorrent on overnight, and I was woken up about 6 hours later to a bizarre noise. It sounded like my hard-drive was dying or reading constantly and under strain. Its a 4 month old sata drive, and its never done that before. Could it have been utorrent doing this because of the dependency on the harddrive for constant writing?I'm not 100% sure that uTorrent was the cause, although this has never happened before, and all that changed was uTorrent. I'm worried about seeding for a long time again, especially if I leave my computer. - It sounded like a damaging noise. I'm sorry I can't explain the sound properly, but it was enough for me to quickly shut-down my computer as soon as I woke up and realised it wasn't going to stop. Thanks for the otherwise sweet program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 It didn't stop even after you closed uTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vurlix Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Hard drives are built to withstand some pretty intensive use.. I highly doubt that µTorrent would cause your drive such such strain. We'll be looking into this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 No, it didn't stop after closing uTorrent.Thanks for the response vurlix, I also doubt whether uTorrent is the cause, but I thought in the interest of supporting such a cool program I'd tell you what happened in case it was occuring alot, - or maybe it was a specific problem with my drive (Segate 250gb Sata). I hope it was a random thing. It hasn't happened since, and I've got Active Smart going.Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 23, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 Is there a chance you could include the option to have a memory cache? You could have it off by default and allow the user to adjust its size to their preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2005 yes, adding a memory cache would be most excellent. Infact, the only thing stopping me right now from switch from azureus to this fine app is the lack of a memory cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
