fromhearttosun Posted July 9, 2013 Report Share Posted July 9, 2013 Same issue. Seems it's triyng to write approx 10x more data than consuming by the net.Upd: defently uTorrent problem, because disk is pretty high speed writeable, while "disk overload 100%".

OpTicaL Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Are users experiencing this problem running their OS and torrents on the same disk?I ask because I'm curious how uTorrent writes data to disk. If I have 5 torrents open and all 5 are being saved to the same HDD, is that similar to having 5 different sources writing to one disk at once?I noticed an issue when I have more than 3 active torrents saving to the same HDD. The HDD works really hard like it's disk thrashing.Could that be one of the reasons for disk overload? Too many read/write requests on a single HDD?

please delete me Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I'd like to disable this artificial slowdown as it seems to lock itself when it reaches "100%" and only way to fix it is to restart µTorrent. Currently the only workaround seems to be is increasing diskio.max_write_queue to some arbitrary large number to hope prevent it from happening.And this in µT 3.3 which is current latest version according to the app itself.

rafi Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 And this in µT 3.3 which is current latest version according to the app itself.No, it is not current stable. 3.3.1 is. Don't believe everything the app says... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
please delete me Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 If the version isn't good enough to be put into whatever auto-update uses (I presume it's just a version check on some URL), I have no reason to call it latest/current stable. Unless it fixes something in the auto-updating mechanism itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amirite Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I'm having the same problem: every time I try to download a torrent the speed quickly jumps to 7-11 mb/s and the Disk Overloaded 100% appears in the bottom left corner of the screen. The memory used when i check Task Manager goes to 1.3 GBs and utorrent crashes. Even after i attempt to end process utorrent still won't turn off, the only way to get rid of the process is to start the PC. My PC freezes when this happens. My PC specs are:Processor: Intel Pentium E5400 Dual-Core @ 2.7 GHzRAM: 4 GB DDR2 800 MHzHDD: 500 GB Caviar Blue SATAVideo card: Sparkle GeForce GT240 1024 MB DDR2Mainboard: Biostar G41-M7 ver: 6.4Source: 450WOS: Windows 7 Enterprise 32-bitI tried everything you guys suggested and still can't get rid of this problem. I'm using utorrent 3.3.1 build 29938. I think there's something wrong with utorrent and I'm pretty sure it's not on my part.I even tried older versions of utorrent and I get the same problem.Can anyone tell me how I can fix this? Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that a beta version? Got to the download document URL by clicking on Products in the header part of this particular document and click on the [Download] button alongside the version details.And yes it is, however, it is at least as "stable" as 3.3.1 is.

amirite Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 I noticed that on the utorrent website>help it says 'My memory usage is very high while running µTorrent.If you find your µTorrent process uses a huge amount of memory abnormally, or steadily increases to hundreds of MB of usage, it could be because of the NVIDIA firewall. If you have the Forceware Network Manager installed, please uninstall it.'I have a nVidia GT 240 video card as i mentioned in my first post but i can't seem to be able to find the Forceware Network Manager.

<make it visible> Posted July 19, 2013 Report Share Posted July 19, 2013 In previous versions of µTorrent (2.x) I've only ran into the "Disk overloaded" problem when the disk actually was overloaded, for example when copying a large amount of files. But the overloaded problem always went away automatically as soon as the other disk activity stopped. Downloading several torrents at the same time at speeds of several MB per second was never a problem.Now, since a fem months back, I get the "Disk overloaded" problem for no apparent reason, as soon as I download more than one torrent at once at high speed. There is absolutely NO other disk activity at the time, and no matter how long I wait, µTorrent just won't start writing anything to disk once the "Disk overloaded" message has appeared. It just sits there, doing nothing.I will try tinkering with the settings a little more, and see if I can find the sweet spot where it just works. But I really wish that it would just work by itself, like it did in previous versions.I'm currently running version 3.3.1, as some trackers I use don't allow the beta versions.

rafi Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 Did you also try run-as-admin (see if there are any permission-related issues) ?Anyways, till you'll revert to one of the new versions 3.3.1/2 - there is no sense to even try find what the cause is, since no one will fix anything in 3.2.2 ...

amirite Posted July 20, 2013 Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 I tried the run as admin option. I'm using 3.3.1. I tried 3.3.2 beta still the same problem. I tried older versions such as 2.0.4, 2.2.1, 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 and so on and the error is still the same :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrogN Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Just some minutes ago get same problem. Disk overloaded 98-100%, and very low download speed.uTorrent 3.3.1 build 29963I try download 12 different torrents together. By default it was set to run 15 active torrents per time and 15 downloads per time.I reduce maximum downloads till 3, problem with disk overload gone. Hope it will help somebody.But it look like just temporary solution, before disk load was balanced automatically with no problem. Hope this will be fixed soon.

Jet_misbehavin Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 I have the same problem with utorrent version 3.2.1 where there is disk overload 100% and speed is abysmal.
