bozotheclown Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Hi there,I've been a very happy bitcomet user for some time and then utorrent came. utorrent uses a lot less memory and a bit less cpu so I'm a happy camper with utorrent. There is one downside and I think I know why bitcomet uses 65mb on my system vs utorrent 3-5mb.Bitcomet does caching of files it downloads. This results in a lot less diskactivity in bitcomet then in utorrent. Does this sound as a reasonable explanation? If so.... is it possible to add a caching feature to utorrent without making the memory footprint huge? I'd like there to be less diskactivity.As stated I am happy with utorrent, it just could be even better then it is allready:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 That's what Delayed-IO Operations is. Options -> Preferences -> Advanced Options. If you don't mind wasting some RAM, set the write queue value a little higher, maybe 2000 or 4000, but vurlix says 500kb/500ms is optimal.Regardless of this setting, no, the disk cache does not account for the significant difference in memory usage. uTorrent is simply a much smaller and more memory efficient client.

Mikademus Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 Don't know if this is fixed, but uTorrents disk cache is only for downloading. Massive uploading might still kill your hard drives in a jiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
