Terra_Cresta Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Hi,This it not a major problem but one which I'm trying to solve. Regardless of the number of active torrents, whenever a hash check is requested all internet traffic (maybe ALL network traffic) becomes errativ.Every 21 seconds there is a blip of activity shown on the Speed tab which diminishes over the next twenty seconds down to zero. This cycle is repeated until the hash check finishes when normal service is resumed.All extraneous software has been removed. I've zapped the µTorrent config folder in it's entirety and am running 'straight out of the box' with only the inbound port changed.Is this behaviour expected? The PC is a 2Ghz Sempron running XPSP2.Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 28, 2006 Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 Are you using beta 431? If so, it's probably normal, because of the way the disk i/o is implemented in the client. If you're on 1.4 stable, then upgrading to the beta might resolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra_Cresta Posted February 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2006 It seems consistent behaviour from 1.4 (stable) through all the Beta releases (to 428). I have a lovely pair of screen shots to illustrate it As a postscript, this behaviour only affects uploads - download speeds remain unaffected.

Firon Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Well, that's kinda weird, that's a pretty slow connection for it to get affected... But well, there's not much you can do about it (I had it sometimes when hash checking over the network) until ludde decides to recode the disk i/o stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra_Cresta Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 OK, thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 You could always manually raise the write queue if it really bothers you. Try a value like 4096, or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terra_Cresta Posted March 1, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Just tried it and it makes no difference Would the fact that the torrents reside on a Striped Dynamic disk (pair of 250's) have any influence? Sorry I didn't mention that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
