Basically when I download on uTorrent 1.7.2 my connection maxes out for a few seconds, (at 2.4mB/s) then it like dies and my upload and download all go back down to 0. Then a min later it all kicks back up again. I thought this was a connection or router issue but I just tested it on azurues and It stays maxed out constant without the drop. Any suggestions?
Did you try to install a differetn version of Utorrent, like 1.6.1, and see if you have any problems?
Not yet, I am trying to keep this one right now so I can keep my upload stats if I ever need it.
are u using a wireless connection?
No.
I think you can downgrade without losing your stats. I've done it.
Downgraded and it still did it, looks like I need to move to azureus =(.
Are you downloading too fast for the hard disk to keep up, ie seeing disk overloaded in the bottom uTorrent window?
I dont think so because azureus is working fine for at 2.4mB/s on the same hard drive.
most harddrives within the past 4-5 years would and can do 2.4 mb/s without a problem whatsoever, it would be you dont have enough ram, or problems with the CPU.
You could try tweaking your speed settings to get the right mix, you may have max up & max down set, and this is affecting you in the way you describe.
Try starting with 80% max settings in both cases (up & down) and then increase step-by-step to get the right blend.
I have 2 gigs of ram and an amd x2 3800+ processor. The hard drive is a brand new 250gb 7200 rpm seagate external. It has to be somthing in utorrent, I am using azureus right now with no problems at all.
yea i think utorrent 1.7.2 is screwed up i get disk overloaded as well and it crashes everday so i just switched to azureus
Go back to 1.6.1 ever since releasing the 1.7's trackers have banned them left and right with one problem after another.
yea i would but 1.6.1 was reporting bad data for me and i got my account disabled at a few places lol so i "upgraded" to 1.7.2 and now it reports data just fine but i have all these other problems i didnt have with 1.6.1
Your damned if you do and your damned if you don't. I used Azureus before switching over to uTorrent to conserve resources on my laptop and that worked well. Perhaps sticking with that would permanently resolve these problems from reoccuring.
yea i dont really like azureus but i guess ill have to stick with it
