If you fail to uncheck the bundled apps during install, you can end up with unwanted software.

It fails to register random torrents with trackers and uses a high amount of CPU. There may be a proper fix (if so, please post it). You could also not use the download temp folder for huge torrents. A better workaround might be to auto-move to another local drive, and later manually move a batch of complete torrents to your network drive. Workarounds: Before the auto-move takes place, briefly slow your downloads to like 10KBytes/sec with the global rate limiter, and then once the move is done, change your global limiter back to its former setting.

When the RAM cache is filled, Disk Overloaded 100% happens which can freeze the GUI and crash uTorrent. This is because uTorrent 2.2.1 begins downloading the next torrent, then caches the data in RAM, rather than writing it to the local disk. Note that if your download temp folder is on a local drive and then uTorrent auto-moves to a GigE network drive, you can run into the Disk Overloaded 100% issue when the torrent is over like 4GB. Used ones typically have 200TB written or less, thus have plenty of life remaining. The DC S3700 400GB is warrantied for 5 years and 5700 TBW lifetime. 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.

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.
