I'm testing your settings now in uTorrent beta, they don't seem to make much of a difference: Disk overloaded 100% as soon as I added a 150Gb torrent, after having downloaded only 80Mb of that torrent. Of course, I tested using both internal and external HDDs. Test with this test torrent, see that you can get to your max connection rate. Adjust the upload limit to ~90% of your max sustainable connection *UPLOAD* rate, as well as your pref.->directories settingsĥ. Replace your settings.dat with mine sig/tips)Ĥ. Replace your exe with the latest good 3.3.1 beta my sig)ģ. Is it not really pre-allocating files because there is no disk activity what so ever going on. Update: When uTorrent goes in Disk Overload 100% it stops doing anything, not only downloading. Changing cache size, disabling cache, disabling-enabling pre-allocation, disabling my Internet Security, reinstalling uTorrent, using another disk (I have 6 HDDs, it does NOT matter which one I'm downloading to), using another operating system (I tried with Windows 7 32bit), using another version of uTorrent (I tried all the 3.3 releases, 3.2.3 and even 2.2.1!). (Even restarting uTorrent, it is always stuck on Disk Overload) In that case, It is impossible to me to download anything.

The problems becomes impossible to handle for very big files (60-100Gb+). The only thing I can do when uTorrent does this is restart it and hope that It does not do it again. UTorrent version: Last Stable (3.3 29625)Įvery time I start downloading something big, or many small files (4-6Gb each), uTorrents goes in Disk Overload 100% and stops downloading anything (actually it does not stop completely, but the download speed becomes so slow that It is almost irrelevant).
