deleted.account Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Hi there uTorrent community!I have the following problem: I use an external USB HDD to download torrents to. The problem is, very often it occures that writing cache becomes full. I tried to change the default value from 32MB to 16MB, 64MB, 128MB, and it seems to work well with any value for a certain period of time, but every now and then disk cache becomes full, which results either in:— all my downloads being "dimmed" to a total of 10 KB/s download speedor— cache that keeps growing and growing (biggest value was today, with cache 700MB full out of 32MB available)Here is what I mean:How is it even possible?This happens at random moments with random download speed and random number of active torrents. Sometimes I can download dozens of GB from 10 different torrents simultaneously at my maximum download speed for several days without any problems, sometimes cache gets full from 1-2 small torrents downloading at 300 KB/s. Sometimes pausing (or stopping) all torrents for a while allows cache to write out, but sometimes disk cache just stays full. Restarting uTorrent sometimes solves the problems, sometimes it does not. Same for re-attaching HDD.I've tried searching the forum and google, but could not find my issue. There are several topics on internet related to cache problems, but all without a solution, and people experiencing those seem to get "Disc Overloaded 100%" error, which I have never seen. My configuration:Windows 7 x64uTorrent 3.1.3 (build 27207)USB 2.0 external hard drive (write speed about ~20 MB/s)Maximum download speed: 1~1,5 MB/sThis problem never occures when I download to my local SSD disk.I would be extremely thankful for any information regarding cache feature and it's settings, or any suggestions on solving the issue.Thanks!

deathw Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I'm having the same issue as you but mine does show disk overload. I haven't had this problem since I recently updated to the newest build last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
