^Lies! haha, 404 error

---

EDIT:

Nvm, just fixed.

Also noticed, the installation file states version 18833 instead of 18834 =P, no biggy, just pointing it out.

Same here, download gives me 18833 build.

Auto update in utorrent tells me there's a new 18834 build but gives a download error when trying to update.

Obviously fixed no longer getting the new build update window.

The link works. If you were looking for 18834... well, that build doesn't exist. Must've been a typo that's since been corrected (see thread title and changelog).

Few nights ago in build 18786 I increased my disk cache to a ridiculous size, 4GB (this crashed it but i expected that) 2GB, than 1 than 512mb before turning it back to automatic management. Since then I seemed to have a memory leak that has not been fixed by upgrading to the RC. The end result is all my system ram is chewed up. However system process monitor doesn't show utorrent using it all. However when i quit out of utorrent it frees it all back up usually 2 GB or so. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this.

First time reporting a bug so sorry if I'm doing it wrong or being vague.

Operating system is windows 7 64 bit.

Hello panthertehcat,

I think you have hit the M$ issue common to most 64bit Windows systems.

(The issue is, that under heavy disk I/O all physical memory is allocated by system cache)

I recommend you to install this M$ fix for wrong system cache behaviour :

(This service will allow you to set the upper limit for system cache - MaxSystemCacheMBytes)

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=e24ade0a-5efe-43c8-b9c3-5d0ecb2f39af&displaylang=en

The Microsoft Windows Dynamic Cache Service will manage the working set size of the Windows System File Cache. For 64 bit systems this service helps to address the problem of excessive cached read I/O that could eventually consume all of physical memory. Sample source code and compiled files are included in the compressed file.

Actually, it's not restricted to their 64-bit systems. The Windows disk cache is stupid. We have two options in preferences - disk cache to bypass it.

As it was said, the problem occured on Windows 7 x64, and MS site says that DynCache service suits only to the OSs below this version. Nevertheless I tried it and of course stuck with "This program was written for an earlier version of Windows" message. So the problem is still actual. Memory continues to leak.

Release Notes

uTP performance and TCP rate control have been greatly improved!

uTP's performance has been improved (reduced overhead, better speed)... [from previous beta]

The on-going issue of access overhead in uTP is still present in this build :(

More info/details are here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=72106

Unfortunately there seems to be up to 20-30% overhead using uTP compared to less than 8% in TCP.

I'll try and post ideas on how to possibly reduce it, later, in the above thread...
