Xterminater Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hey all. I am having a really weird problem and I do not know how to fix it at all!! I am using Vista Ultimate with utorrent 1.6.1 and all the sudden I keep getting disk overload 100% in the status bar and my computer like literally freezes then unfreeze then freeze again, and all my download/upload speed stopped. This NEVER happen before!! I'm using a SATA II hard drive to save the download to. I don't get it, why is it happening. I don't have nvidia firewall or anything of that sort.Also I upgraded to 1.7 beta and STILL the same thing happen. I then tried the increasing disk cache to 100mb still doesn't work. I left everything default and it doesn't work either. Please help!I do not have nvidia firewall either!! I post this on another topic but no mods or admin or the creator of utorrent took a look at so I had to make another one.... please help me!!

Ultima Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Try disabling:- Reduce memory usage when the cache is not needed- Write out untouched blocks every 2 minutes- Write out finished pieces immediately- Turn off read caching if the upload speed is slow- Remove old blocks from the cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted May 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Ultima I have done this .... it still say disk overloaded 100% . I'm saving files on a SATA II hard drive also, so there should be no problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Is your connection extremely fast?If so, just for testing purposes, can you try reducing max download and upload speeds to 100 KiloBYTES/sec (or less) in µTorrent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 yes my download speed is extremely fast.... it is around 5MB/S..... if i limit it then no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Have you tried seeding a smaller torrent from a ram drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 the problem isn't seeding.... its downloading.... and what do u mean by ram drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Maybe try defragging your harddrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 done that already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 Just noticed you have unticked the top option in disk cache settings. There is no point changing the figure in the text box if your going to disable the option. So try enabling that, while at the same time disabling the ones Ultima suggested above. Also how much RAM have you got, how much can you spare, just 100mb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted May 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I have 3gb now... maybe i can spare 700mb for itso i should untick everything that ultima say and then manually put 700mb?btw i am using the latest utorrent beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 A ramdrive is a section of ram set up to act like a drive letter...such as H:\It will be so much faster than a physical hard drive that hard disk overload with a ramdrive is exceedingly unlikely.

ICleolion Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Yes Xterminater: untick everything Ultima suggested then tick the top option (leave it ticked) and set the value to 700mb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xterminater Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 i do notice my speed is going down.... how can i fully use the speed I have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjobo Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Actually what I have noticed there is some caching issues with utorrent related to high speed downloading. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=21356So it could be a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tao Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I am using Windows Vista Ultimate (x32 edition). I have the same problems. My RAM is 2x512MB. Seeding is not a problem. If I download at slow speeds, ~100-200kb/s is fine. But speeds like 2mb/s or more my ram starts to grow up to 100%. If I stop the task, after few seconds cleans the memory (if you calculate it, with only 1GB physical memory utorrent takes ~500MB) Bitcomet is running OK.

Switeck Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Is µTorrent actually shown as the process using that memory?If so, it may be another memory leak...that may already be fixed in the latest v1.7 µTorrent beta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tao Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 In Processes is only 20mb, but in performance graph is full memory. When terminate utorrent ram cleans in that graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even I put 700mb for cache,everything uncheck from cache options ,but if I stopped utorrent client ,still running in task!Must restart pc ...What to do?Anyway tracker not keep corectly ratio like ratio shown from utorrent client!What you think is about to reinstall Windows or what?

Switeck Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 So you told it to use 700 MB for ram cache...and close µTorrent sometime later.µTorrent could take quite some time to dump potentially 700 MB of data from ram to your hard drive.At 10 MB/sec, that'd be over a minute.
