However, I also started having speed issues unraring torrents. I lived with it for a few days, restarting utorrent to get around the problem each day. The same day, the disk overloaded errors in utorrent started. Last week I got a new Dell monitor that came with a built in USB 3.0 hub, so I plugged it into that same PCI card. I've been storing the downloads on an external hdd connected via USB 3.0 to an add-on PCI card. I started receiving this error last week. The two separate physical drives are even on completely different disk controllers, not that I think that would matter.Īlmost all of these factors were the same, when I was running an older version of uTorrent (2.*) and I was not having the Disk overloaded issue. Nothing else is accessing the drive my torrents is on besides uTorrent. The process accessing a different physical drive runs on the lowest priority. The uTorrent process runs on higher priority than everything else to ensure nothing interferes with it, incase my overall CPU usage caps out.

I have not adjusted any of the uTorrent Disk Cache settings and here are my settings: If I run something that constantly accesses a different physical disk, then 40-60 seconds later, uTorrent will report 'Disk overloaded 100 %', even though I'm not touching the only drive uTorrent is using.įrom all of that, I have to imagine this must be some serious bug or flaw within uTorrent. Nothing else but my torrents run from that drive, and there are no other partitions on the same physical drive. Right now, I'm seeding/leeching on a dedicated physical hard drive. I just upgraded to 3.2.2 from an older uTorrent version (2.*), because the older version didn't support some types of torrents, and I immediately noticed some serious flaws/bugs with the newer version regarding the Disk overloaded detection.
