Deo Domuique Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) rafl, according to your guide, check how I've set up mine: As you see, I'm just trying to avoid disk writing/reading as much as possible. I gave the limit ( 1.8GB ) of RAM to μTorrent... Now, I'd like to know, since I've disabled "write out finished pieces immediately" & "write out untouched blocks every 2 mins" when exactly it writes on disk? I've seen increased Memory usage, but not much. From ~20MB it went ~50-60MB... I thought it would start writing when all pieces were done or something and I'd see great RAM usage... Care to explain what happens in this case?I don't mind if lose data in an electricity-down scenario nor if it start using 1.8GB RAM -that's the purpose, actually.

DreadWingKnight Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 As you see, I'm just trying to avoid disk writing/reading as much as possible.This won't protect your drive from the wear and tear that would actually damage it.

rafi Posted December 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) I'm just trying to avoid disk writing/reading as much as possible. As long as your HD is fast enough it is not likely to fill up the cache. Eventually - data blocks will be written/read to the HD. If you really want to minimize IO, use my settings with a RAMDrive instead of the large cache, define it as the download destination, and auto-move the file to the HD when download completes.

Deo Domuique Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) RamDrive... So, as I see I need a specific software, right? I see a list of Ram Drive programs on Wikipedia... Which one would you propose to start with? A free, decent one?I've μTorrent-related stuff on a normal HDD, which is a WD Black Sata 3 with 64MB buffer. I don't have problems, I'm just trying learn/test things. Edited December 23, 2012 by Deo Domuique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rafi Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) Well, I didn't with the newest build. you might want to try and test reverting back to an older build. Your best sanity test should be when an empty settings.dat in the same path with the exe. Edited April 4, 2013 by rafi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aydin1954 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) it only crashes when I use your .dat file. And trouble is I do not have an older built of 3.3.1 and I do not think they have a repository for the betas only the last build or ? Thanks.OK found one but still crashes.... so I officially give up. Edited April 4, 2013 by aydin1954 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 Well, I'll be able to try it next week... or ?Maybe Google it?...it should actually be one of the exe's in your update directory.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aydin1954 Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 ok as a final effort I tried it on two other PCs so a total of 2 Desktops and one Laptop and again it crashes so..... I tend to think there is something wrong with your .dat file. And it would have been quicker if you posted a screen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
