There are many models and various makers (Intel is considered best). They are available on the various used market places. These were not sold through retail channels and are typically use in database and video editing servers. They have much less latency compared to QLC and TLC flash drives, which is what uTorrent needs.

Check Disable Windows caching of disk reads.įor the ultimate speed and stability, use a MLC SSD for the download temp folder.

Check Disable Windows caching of disk writes.Check Increase automatic when thrashing.

Check Turn off read caching if upload slow.

Check Write out finished pieces immediately.

Check Override automatic cache size and enter 1024.

If you have only one disk and it's spinning, set them false and have Pre-allocate checked.

diskio.no_zero doesn't work as you can't run uTorrent as Admin without causing other issuesįor the last 2, use a SSD, make sure Pre-allocate all files is unchecked (on the Preferences->General tab).

Make sure UDP is checked for limiting (it's on 2 tabs). If you ever see Disk Overloaded 100%, then slow your transfer speed with the global limiters. It needs to be on a fast local drive (not a mapped network drive), ideally dedicated just for uTorrent. UTorrent does not behave well when its download or download temp folder is shared with other apps (especially the OS pagefile). This configuration was used to help reseed TTD. With the ultimate setup, I had about 900 simultaneous downloads transferring for a combined speed around 35MBytes/sec. I wish other clients would follow suit.I may have posted part of this before. This behavior was initially toggleable, but is now mandatory. To top it off, uTorrent didn't display the 'flushing to disk' status as it does now, so at first glance torrents would appear to have dropped dead at 99.9%.Īlso², uTorrent's disk cache uses unbuffered I/O, so that it doesn't overlap with Windows'. in all modern file systems, moving a file within the same volume is equivalent to renaming it, an inexpensive operation that doesn't move the actual data anywhere.Īlso, little addendum to post #8: this happened to me when doing video encoding and heavy downloading at the same time.

Do your torrents have many (more than a thousand) files?īecause if the answer to all three is 'no', this is a surprising fix.

Do you have a RAID or JBOD setup where the same volume can 'be in' more than one physical drive?.

Are/were the source and destination paths in the same partition?.

So I thought why should I have to download stuff on an hdd to be transferred to the same hdd?I have some questions for you: Then I realised I had 2 boxes ticked for downloads : 1) put new downloads in
