sabinou Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Hello, I thought I'd take two minutes to provide some feedback. First and most important thing, even I, as an experimented internet user, found myself confused with µtorrent, when I tried to download, and then seed once the transfer was done, a SUPER HUGE torrent, composed of several dozens of files and weighing around 230 GB. I saw the program freeze for a certain time. And then the program seemed to do nothing with the torrent, seeding only started much later. I guess it must have been about calculating file hashes, who knows. Sometimes, as I wanted to resume the torrent after starting my PC (I can't pretend I can download 230 GB in a single day), the torrent would also take forever to resume. While, me, I was wondering "what the heck ?!?". So, here's my suggestion : in special cases where operations supposed to take seconds may take hours, utorrent really should provide more information, at least an information balloon in the tray/taskbar, something like that. To tell :« Don't panic, this is normal. Here's what we're doing. It's necessary (or not : and then, here's how to save time). As soon as we're done, the torrent starts, hang in there ! » Otherwise, many people will simply give up, thinking the program is broken. Good evening everyone !

DreadWingKnight Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 The freezing problems you describe are ultimately caused by the windows disk cache subsystem.It's being worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
