Tried it, know it doesn't happen with my cache settings, eSATA does a little, but you have to be firing LOTS of data at it AND be using it for other processes simultaneously.Ĭan't say I've tested this but I would guess that USB3 and "Firewire" drives suffer less with overloading than USB1.1, USB2.0 or networked drives do, and maybe, if you run a Gigabit capable network rather than a 100Mb network there maybe less "issues", but as with so many things that the uTorrent and BitTorrent developers carry the blame for, the solution is IN YOUR HANDS. If all your downloads go to an internal drive, whether it be SATA, IDE/PATA or SCSI, disk overloading doesn't happen. I hardly think the developers can be held responsible for people downloading to drives that are connected via a "slow" interface, I will post again if the problems come back. I have no idea what started this problem or why this "fixed" the issue, but maybe this can solve your problems.
Well, its been 24hrs now and I'm back to downloading 5 torrents at 2.0MB/s total and the disk cache isn't even filling half-way and is writing to disk properly again. To suggestion was to run uTorrent in compatability mode for Windows Vista and run as "Administrator". I was just about to switch clients when I found a post somewhere else. Changing disk cache settings had no effect. This would happen even with just one small torrent downloading. The write cache would overfill and NEVER write out to disk. Three days ago though, everything changed. Typical download speeds around 2.0MB/s and default disk cache settings.
I would have the occasional disk overload message when I was downloading a whole bunch of torrents and also doing other disk intensive jobs on the computer at the same time, but for the most part things would be smooth. I have been using version 2.2.1 for about the past 6 months and things have been working fine.
