stupid box problem

On their own, the dl/ul pipe works fine. For instance if I want to dl a torrent on the box it goes really fast, and if im just seeding torrents and not dl'ing anything it seeds well too. Now, theres a problem when i start dl'ing things and it screws up the upload speed completely. Even if something is only dl'ing at 300kBps (Im using a 100mbit btw) it will make all the upload speed to down to near zero. Then when nothing is dl'ing the upload speed goes back to normal. Its not a huge torrent or anything. The specific torrent is 3.5gb, but this problem also happens when dl'ing 700mb torrents. What can I do? (p.s, the box started getting "disk overloaded" alot since updating to 1.7.7)

Help plz.

lower your upload and download speed limit until you get stable speed

Also, search for disk overload here and you will find one thread which has screens of different disk cache settings. That setting might work for you

im not going to use 5 percent of 100mbit.

ps, may you link me to that thread?

im not using 5% of 100mbit.

I just turned of all the advanced cache settings. It got my dl speed up, but ul for my other torrents is 5kbps. If I pause the torrent being dl'ed the other torrents ul jumps to 4mBps.

were looking at this,

specifically vf$bandwith is what im using.

If you read the thread, there r couple of settings you can try and see what works

Problem mostly is with download speed being too high and hdd cant cope with it

i had similar problems with my seedbox so I capped download speed to 4-5mb and upload 9-10mb and worked fine

thanks, i looked into it.

which os are you using? win2k3?

yes, win2k3

yeah i also get this problem, its quite annoying

change the tcp limit to 200

and at utorrent set net.maxhalfopen to 85% of the tcp limit you set before.
i had to do that at my seedbox too once.

what 85 percent of the limit i set before? Do you mean 85 percent of the current value or 85 percent of 200?

85% x 200

lemme know if u noticed improvements.

thats interesting cuz the old value is 8 and ur asking me to put it at 160

im aslo getting really pissed whe ni start getting a new torrent at 10mBps then constantly get disk overload

win2k3 tcpip.sys is capped at 10 halfopen connections which is a bitch for P2P clients, thus changing it to 200 and then at utorrent to 160~ keeps the same percentage.

160/200 = 8/10

ohhh........ I promise you, im not retarded I was just a little slow on that one.

ps. still doesn't help, still get diskoverloaded FUC***** PROBLEM

how much ram does your box has? ram is a major issue on cacheing data.
less than 2gb u are screwed. I had to have 4gb on my last one 100/100 full duplex to not have those problems.

1gb :(

if you only have 1GB then I would suggest you to cap your download speed to around 6MB/s - 7MB/s

well, even 6 or 7 screws it up, nothing will eb uploading will dl'ing. I also did that tcp thing :(

then go for a decent box, that one seems to sux for your needs. probably even IDE HDD's at that box...

or at the end of the month you could go switch to Linux + rTorrent :)
even with just 256MB but still can download 12MB/s

That's what I was thinking, because I have 512 + some burstable room and it runs pretty smoothly, although hashchecking is slower than I'm used to on my Core 2 Duo.
