DaveBG Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 When seeding/leeching at more than 800k after some time you may see the your HDD begins to flash more and more, your aplications begin to open more slowly and already opened ones show up in a slide show from top to bottom...Thi is because if you have less than 1024 RAM and less than 400-500 is free your SystemCashe (FileCashe) grows forever and unloads everything to the pagefile:"The more the file cache grows, the less memory is available for running applications. The result is a significant decrease in performance as requests for memory lead to the so-called "swapping" of memory. This occurs when unused memory segments are paged out to the hard disk's paging file. Because hard disk access is slow relative to Memory, loss of performance is inevitable. This hapens in all File Cache Management for Windows NT, 2000, 2003 and Windows XP, and even Windows Vista."I saw that is some other BitTorrent client cashing is not causing this because it uses another, its own method, not Windows!

schnurlos Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 beta versions use disk.cache, try it; next stable has it :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 I have 512MB RAM, and had no such issue. Overload was never caused by constant writing to the swap file. It was caused by constant writing to disk in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 The latest beta has no problems with even gigabit lines, so I really don't know what to say, since you said both IDE controllers are already set to Ultra DMA... did uninstalling NOD32 and/or Microsoft Defender not help?

Switeck Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Any firewall software that tries to do packet inspection may either be falling behind at higher download speeds...or at least holding the connection open longer than it needs to causing a memory leak which could indirectly trigger the overload condition.

SaNDuTjE Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yeah i have uninstalled ms defender/nod32.

Ultima Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Can you get Process Explorer and provide a screenshot, including paths (with sensitive information blotted out if you so wish)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csonti Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 First when the firewall was not set correctly for DHT (I got red light) everything worked fine, then I set it (green light) and soon (after several minutes) I experienced that the HDD load is 100%. I got a lot of error messages like: can not write the resume.dat file... or something like that. I think the DHT cause that. Anyway with another BT cliens the machine is working well.My system: P3-733, 256MB RAM, 40GB HDD, 2Mb ADSL, WinXP SP2, NOD32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
