hmm idk man, i know for a fact that utorrent does take up memory when downloading fast due to hard drive not keeping up with it...

I have never seen a box go that crappy...

how are your ftp speeds?

a neither have i, my home connection dounbles the speed of my box:P
though i am now getting a whooping 250kbs ("wow").

thanks!
(woo hoo, now my DL speed is on 20kbs and im downloading from ftn...)

nbo, you see the disk overloaded error on the bottom of utorrent often? Have you run a speedtest to make sure the problem is only with utorrent?

My advice: leave disk cache settings at default, then restart utorrent. See if that fix your speed issue. If it does, in the future, just limit the download speed when you see disk overloaded errors.

just us an uk addy ;-), lfc4ever is luckyboy, lol tags?, lucky to be european, major on top lol, sarge you lucky bastard, unlucky for everyone else some weird ass tags

nope, never got a disk overloaded error b4.
ran speed tests and they suk, dl is about 2-3mb, ul is 1.5 perhaps

I've got everything working very smoothly on my server...except for the FTP side.

Whenever I try to download something to my computer via FTP, I get abysmal speeds. It takes almost half an hour to get a 200mb file off my server onto my computer.

Any suggestions or ideas?

My home connection is around 7mbs down.

I followed naq's guide. I tried using FileZilla like FatCat suggests, but I can't get it to work. The program starts fine, but it never connects to the server.

Hey again, I got everything set up with and working good, but with root. And by that I'm running into problems with the ftp, ye. Can I in an easy way create another user now and start using that to run utorrent and shit but not loosing any options that I got atm. I think if I create another user now, the directorys will be wrong and utorrent won't be installed etc?

I hope you understand what I mean.

You won't lose anything under root. The home directory for the new user will be /home/username, so all files for the new user will be in there. Look at my guide from section 4 - 6 to create a new user. If you want to stop using root, you can move the files into /home/username using "mv", then type this to change permission:
# chown -R username:username /home/username
Then just reload the torrents in the new utorrent under the new user.
