I'm using uTorrent 3.1.3 and I'm getting the error "Disk Overloaded 100%" after the download speed reaches 4-5 mb/s. It lasts about 1 minute, it starts again with full speed and then it displays disk overloaded again. After the second "disk overloaded" error, the download speed raises to maximum and stays that way until the end of the torrent.
This is a very old problem I've had with utorrent since version 1.6.1 and have not found a solution all these years. I tried to tweak the caching settings (as suggested on other forums) but with no luck.
I know it's not my HDD (7200rpm, 32mb chache). Some people don't have this problem at all and their rig is similar to mine. Even the HDD is the same.
What can I do?
