RAM or Hard Disk problems, more info is required.
Is your hard disk up to scratch with handling high speed downloads?
well yeah my hdds are only about 3 months old max. i'm using 3x 500gb (2WD 1seagate)
what info do you need?
i'm using 2x 1gb crucial ballistix ram.
^^ That kind of info, which should rule out RAM & HD probs, but not entirely if one is found to be faulty.
What is your line speeds?
Do you have max settings for up & down set? (which should be about 80% of each - not max, then increase in 1% increments and find out which setting suits you best)
Have you set up utorrent in accordance with any guides pertinent to your line speeds? Or is it just default from the box?
i've been using utorrent for over a year. it's only recently that this problem has arisen, but i can't pinpoint to one of the changes i've made. like version update/ microsoft update/ additional HDD/ Cfosspeed etcQuote:

line speed's 10mbps/384kbps
I would run some serious hard disk tools to check for errors & redundancy & fragmentation to rule out HDs, from the info you have supplied it looks like data is corrupting on write out to your hard disks.
Then move your utorrent data downloads to the best drive you have, and then report back.
Search for Hirens's boot CD V9.4 for the best data tools there is.
Have a look at "Disk Statistics" in utorrent and see if you spot anything odd there.

i have about 1TB of torrent data and it spans across all 3 hdd. even if i consolidated, it'd still be more than one disc. okay and i'm not sure if this matters. but when i try to defragment the drive that only has torrent downloads using the windows defragmenter, almost the whole bar is red, even after defragmenting. does that say anythign?
what should i be looking out for?Quote:
