dragancla Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 Hello uTorrenters! I've recently contracted a 1000 Mbps speed from my ISP and calculated my max download speed would be about 112,5 MBps when torrenting. But, unfortunately, it's far from it. I've got an Intel i7 2700k, 32GB of RAM and Windows is installed on an 128GB SSD. Downloads are made to my Striped Dynamic partition and, rarely, to my external HDD. Just as an idea, when copying a file from my HDD to my HDD it writes with about 20MBps and from my Striped to my Striped it writes with ~80MBps while SSD's speed is about 135MBps. When downloading, speed caps out at about 25-30 MBps. Figured it's my drive that's got issues writing that much data. But then I go into "Preferences" - "Advanced" - "Disk Cache" and enable "Override automatic cache size and specify the size manually" and set it to 1800MB (maximum allowed) and the download speed goes up to a whooping 75-90 MBps! BUT! The problem is, if I'm downloading anything larger than 2GB, uTorrent crashes. If there's a 15GB file I need downloading, uTorrent downloads about 2GB of data and then freezes. Task manager says uTorrent is not responding and the ethernet connection drops from 850Mbps to 10Kbps. RAM usage doesn't go above 8GB (Windows uses 6 at all times). What is there to do? Am I stuck downloading large files at low speeds and small files at high speeds? Thank you!
DreadWingKnight Posted April 23, 2015 Report Posted April 23, 2015 You're stuck using lower disk cache settings and different allocation settings (including enabling sparse files in advanced).
dragancla Posted April 23, 2015 Author Report Posted April 23, 2015 Hmm. Mind being more specific about how much should I lower the disk cache and what diffefrent allocation settings I need? Thank you!

DreadWingKnight Posted April 24, 2015 Report Posted April 24, 2015 Preallocate off, sparse files on, do not override disk cache size.
dragancla Posted April 25, 2015 Author Report Posted April 25, 2015 Works like a charm! Got to a speed of 69MBps, thanks!
