yes, I plan to move to linux with rtorrent, the reason why I use windows right now because I never have experience with seedbox, so when I first rent my vps I just thought to use Windows, but now I'm ready to move to linux
actually I don't really like Windows, but I don't think it sucks :) each operating system has their market and their uniques, so we cannot blame some certain OS
Good idea, it's lighter on system resources and is free.Quote:

Debian & rTorrent = Heaven :yup:
how's Debian compared to CentOS or Ubuntu ?
Been reading through these and have gotten rid of my disk overload problem. My problem is that I cannot get any upload speed while I am downloading. I am using a Vectoral server. Can anyone help me out here? I am downloading with plenty of peers and getting 1.1MB/s down and 1.0KB/s up. Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Thank you in advance.
- Write out untouched blocks every 2 minutes will control whether µTorrent flushes the chunks from incomplete pieces to disk if the piece has been inactive for 2 minutes. Turn this off if using very large cache values or experiencing disk overload during your download (NOT if you just added the torrent, that is normal!).
- Write out finished pieces immediately will control whether µTorrent writes finished pieces immediately. If turned off, it will write them after a maximum of 15 seconds. Turn this off if using very large cache values or experiencing disk overload during your download (NOT if you just added the torrent, that is normal!).
Seems if you got 1GB ram, set your cache to 512-768MB ram and turn those off.
thanks for all the info guys, and for fstokebanget i suggest you really move to linux+rtorrent a lot better.
thanks for the advice pal, I moved to rtorrent now and now I'm really happy with the speed :DQuote:

but only 1 problem left in rTorrent, why I cannot see the number of leechers or the seeders in the swarm of a torrent ? It always displays as 0, could you help me ?
This helped me alot.. I run multiple utorrents on my box , and each time, after a few hours, although speeds are limited to around 800kb/s each, i still get the disk overload issue. After reading what koolyt said, i decided to partition my disk and now, no more disk overload issue. Thank you so much mate :DQuote:

windows and utorrent
Increase your buffer size depends how much you can go by the size of ram
Limit the download speed
That's a about it,unless you make some changes to the registry.
