Does someone know a solution? Is this an error with this build? If so, why do so many people still use it despite its fault? Is there some kind of untold setting that I'm supposed to know? The obvious conclusion would be that my HDD is faulty but, with other torrent clients it performs just fine. There were a few other ones that changed nothing. I tried using a multitude of 'fixes' I found online, the most common one I could find was changing the cache size - this wouldn't really fix the problem as it would just delay the problem. I initially thought that it was pre-allocating(it's unticked) space however, that does not seem to be the case as you'd expect it to pre-allocate -> then download whereas all it does is: Download speed ramps up then it plummets following with the high disk usage then about 15 minutes later the cycle repeats. I tried resolving this issue by tweaking the settings the tracker recommends for qBittorrent which didn't help a single bit.īack to the topic at hand, I am getting the infamous 'disk overload 100%' error where the disk apparently cannot keep up with the download. Why not just use a different client like qBittorrent? Because I tend to get significantly less uploaded a day - like 20 to 2GB less. I'm using it due to the cheeky little bitcoin miner and the ads implemented in newer versions and also a bit of nostalgia. Anything after that is suspect.First off, I'd like to clarify why I decided to usee the older client. 1.6 Standard is the last REAL version of Utorrent. Simply looking at who bought the program and who is now updating the code should be enough to convince anybody that the Utorrent we knew is gone. The backlash against Utorrent is not FUD.

Too bad it wasn't made Open Source so someone could continue on the work in the right way. Bearshare, Utorrent, what's next? They are letting their money do the fighting for them and have ruined what was a fantastic product. If the RIAA and MPAA can't kill 'em, they buy 'em and reprogram them. Whatever happens from this point forward is no longer something he's involved in, I believe. I don't see why anybody would want to, especially with the original author no longer coding the program. I for one do not wish to support ANY effort by someone so chummy with the RIAA and MPAA, period. If you wish to use Utorrent, I'd simply say stay with the 1.6 Standard final version and do not use anything after that release. The fact that Utorrent is now owned and being updated by people that have signed agreements with the RIAA and MPAA and NOT the original programmer, should give anybody pause. That version should be safe I believe and is still an excellent client. Utorrent 1.6 Standard, the last final build, was done before the company was purchased and the new code written.
