Luciaan Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Can anyone explain why it's doing this? My downloading and uploading has completely stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 "Disk Overload" is NOT because the disc is overloaded, it is the INTERFACE to the drive where the data queue is greater than uTorrent considers 'safe'.Have you tried having only one drive letter mapped to the device?And reduce your cache size to 256 - 512 MB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciaobaby Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 Well ther are a few things that can help reduce the overloading warning.Use a drive with a fast interface such as SATA 1 internal or ATA 133 Reduce the download rateReduce disc cache size so less data is written more oftenAdjust diskio.max_write_queue reduce diskio.coalesce_write-sizeORset diskio.coalesce_writes to false Read the User Manual for what they do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankN Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I get this all the time, sometimes severak times a day. Its illogical, I can be running at 7 MB down and 600KB up, and no probs, then an hr later I can be at 1/2 that speed and it goes 100%. No matter how many threads I stop, it doesnt recover. Have to fully close and restart UTorrent, which in itself is a hassle as when I exit, the TASK dissapear - but UTorrent is still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I right click on it and Exit, it doesn't exit and requires the task manager to close it. I exited it 5 hours ago and it was still in the task manager, so I just exited it now.

Why isn't uTorrent using it? Why is it stuck? I can play Battlefield 4 at 60FPS with no hickups while uTorrent is "100 disk overloaded". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciaan Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 Also why is it that uTorrent never shuts down when I right click on the icon and select exit? Even when I start it up and exit it 5 minutes later with no apparent disk issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luciaan Posted November 4, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 I changed my settings, set my memory limit to 150mb, set coalesce_write to false, but I am still having the trouble. In fact, it took a much shorter time for uTorrent to stop working (flushing to disk, no 100% disk write, no activity in the performance monitor).

Luciaan Posted November 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2013 OK I haven't fixed the problem in the latest version. So I downgraded to an older version and the problem is gone. I hope in a future update this will be fixed. The version I am now running is 2.2.1. Here are my settings that I used:After I set this up, I was able to download around 1200 torrents overnight with zero issues. Also the crashing and freezing from selecting more than 500 torrents at once in version 3.3.2 is not present in 2.2.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 Expecting a high disk cache number to not cause crashes is unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
