Suddenly 100% disk usage.
Posted: Sun May 28, 2023 10:13 am
Hello World,
Everything has been going well for years until yesterday when suddenly qbittorrent started causing 100% disk usage on one of my hdds. I was using version 3.3.13 when this happend, but since I also tried 3.3.16 and currently am on 4.5.2 and the problem persists. Running windows 10 enterprise version 22H2 osbuild 19045.2006.
After google searches I tried playing with some options like os cache and disk cache size, but nothing has helped.
Even now I'm not even downloading(which I initially thought was the cause) just uploading with 10mb/sec and disk is at 100%. Now whenever I open qbitorrent the disk usage varies wildy for a while but eventually settles at 100%.
I didn't do anything different when the problem occured, no new programs or drivers or anything, just added a couple of torrents for the day reached 280 something torrents total and it started happening. But I heard of other people seeding thousands of torrents so why whould 280 be an issue...
Please help, thank you.
LE: After some more testing it seems not all torrents cause this behavior, torrents from private trackers don't even when uploading with 10+mb/sec or downloading with 30+mb/sec(usage still varies wildly while downloading at this speed but it doesn't seem to cap at 100% and stay there), however torrents from public trackers like rarbg and piratebay cap my usage at 100% after a while even if the speeds are way lower. Suggestions please?
