Disk Cache setting.

[WalkerCorps]

Hello!

I have doubts about the best option to use.

Cache disk checked or unchecked?

I have no problem with Disk Overloaded, but I have doubts about how best to not have much use of HD IO queues.

Any answers? :|

If you're trying to save a platter hard drive by reducing the amount of writes to it, you're actually going to cause more damage by causing the drive to spin down and up repeatedly

Not Trying save a platter, just knowing the best way to use.

Utorrent cache, disc overload?

I have having so many problems with disc overload when using utorrent.

I am downloading an 8gb file at 1.4MB/S and every so often i get disc overload 100%.

My cache is set to 64 and i have tried increasing to 96mb but it still overloads most the time.

Any suggestions?

I have;

Dell dimension 3000

2gb ram

3.00ghz processor speed

20mb broadband

if that helps

thanks

WalkerCorps, unsure what version of utorrent you are using. I'm using the latest 3.2.1 beta version and the two Windows function ones that you have highlighted do not appear in this version. I don't understand the language, but all the others in the list appear the same as what I have and are set exactly the same as mine, so I guess that's the default setting as I never mess with the cache part of utorrent. I would therefore suggest you leave it as it is if you aren't getting any problems.

Alstonbirks, what version of uTorrent are you using.
