wayrus Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 hi, i've benn downloading very well, everything is still working.but with a torrent of the size of 27.4gb (a videogame) i'm having troubles with the error about i/o device.i premise i don't have any problem with the operative system or the hard disks, they're fine.i'm downloading this file on my primary hd (primary partition) where also windows 7 ultimate x64 is located. i've downloaded the torrent until 78.3% and every now and then the problem occurs but i just put the torrent in FORCE download that it would start for a while until it stops again. now i'm trying to FORCE check the file to see if everything is fine but at the point of 60.8% it freezes (together with the whole computer) with the hd doing little repeated noise until it stops and utorrent displays the error. "Error: the request could not be performed because of an I/O device error (Check)" i'm using utorrent 3.4.2what the hell is wrong with it? ***couldn't it be just a problem of the italian connection with the downloading of a file so big? the torrent is very slow because it is based in italy. it is like 3 times worse than the nigerian or lybian connection.*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 IO device errors indicate hardware related issues ON YOUR COMPUTER. hd doing little repeated noise until it stopsThis indicates the hard drive is failing, in spite of the testing you've done.

DreadWingKnight Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 and why no one of the tests i've done didn't warn me about anything? and why every other torrent file force-recheck runs well and fine?Because neither of those are actually looking at the sectors of the drive that contain this specific torrent.

wayrus Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 do you know if formatting the hard drive and reinstalling the o.s. would solve the issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 You would need to do a full (not quick) format, and even then, there's no guarantees. You're better off backing up and getting a new hard drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayrus Posted September 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 surely i will do a backup and try formatting with full mode the hard disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
