Firon Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Turn the feature on and try it out. Sparse files cause way too much fragmentation on Windows anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hahahafr Posted January 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I don't know if it's a bug or not, but when I add one really huge torrent of 135GB containing only three big files, during a certain amount of time (9-10 min) utorrent is writing the yet empty files to the disk, and therefore causing 100% disk overload. So I figured out activating either compact writes, but I sometimes want to skip files, or sparse files could be a solution not to have a frozen system while utorrent do its job.I just don't want to mess with this NTFS related issues, so I'm asking first. If someone knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
