utorrent disk overload

[NYGiants]

i am at my end with this problem. i have ut 1.6.1 setup on my server and use webui. the problem i am having is i constantly get disk overload when downloding in utorrent. it is not because i am downloading to fast because it doesn't matter even if i am downloading at 500kb/s i get it. so no matter what i do i have to let the file i am downloading finish b4 it will even start uploading. if anyone else had this problem and solved it please let me know how u did it.

thanx

what are the file sizes? i get that for a minute or two with HD movies that are over 8GB, but than it stopped it is fine for everything else

[NYGiants]

no this happens with every file, there is just no way i can upload while i'm downloading ( my main issue more is i cannot upload at all while i am downloading no matter if i cap my download or not, my upload is perfectly fine after the download has finished)

your hd is bad, do you have vps? (leeware, or others)

yes it is a vps.......i managed to stop disk overload but cannot upload at all while i am downloading:(

[Cmon]

Something on preferences - advanced - disk cache & preferences - Queueing - check the "seeding tasks have higher priority than downloading tasks" might help you

[gossard25]

those leeware errors have been fixed he has shifted to a new HD

I have the same problem

Reasons could be bad HD, u should run some disk utitlies, also cleaning up and reinstalling utorrent is also a good practice...dont forget the hidden folder in apps and documents/application data/utorrent

preferences-advanced-disk cache and at override automatic cache size and specify the size manually ... change it to a half of you rams...because that`s why you get disk overloaded...because of the lack of ram...put there like 128 or 512...depending of how much do you have and the speed will be ok

[Ne'tu]

This settings works very well for many configurations.

[Memphy]

if you don`t have speeds over 2-3 mb then there is no problem...but when i am downloading at 10 mb...in 30-40 seconds i get disk overloaded at that configuration...but at 512 and not 32 i can download with no problem

[Ne'tu]

Of course, it depends a lot of the configuration.

I've got very good results with that one on a 1 GB RAM server.

[NYGiants]

well now i can get rid of disk overload but no matter what i do i can not upload at all when i am downloading which makes it very hard to get a 1:1 on torrents

[Memphy]

preferences-queueing and select seeding tasks have higher priority than downloading tasks...this might help you...

[myousef82]

i don't know how to solve the problem

[BombayMan]

i think it also have to do with the hd. I had a server at vectoral that did the same thing, and once they replaced the hd the problem went away.

[kakashi]

have same problem sometimes...the utorrent developer need to fix the issue. it's not the HD, i tell you that.

check out there forum on their site...

Anyone find a solution?? I have the same problem, i solved the disk overload but i cant upload while im downloading :frusty:.

Thanks!

Isn't your upload speed determined by your download speed? If you downloading at full speed then it is unlikely that you will be able to upload at max speed as well. Try limiting your download speed and see if your upload speed increases.
