I've got a box on a fast line running torrents, I have a disk overloading problem, but looking at the disk statistics, the problems seems to be that the disk is not writing the data out of the cache. It seems to build it up until the cache is filled or the torrent finishes, then it begins to slowly write it to disk. Looking at the disk activity on another computer, when the torrent begins the disk automatically beings writing and the line has an upward trend. On the computer that's problematic, the write activity appears to spike, then drop to zero, then spike again, etc etc.
Due to the plots from disk activity, I'm somewhat inclined to believe this might be an issue with the hardware or drivers, as opposed to an issue with utorrent.
Information from device manager:
Drive:
Hitachi HTS541616J9SA00
Controller:
Intel 82801GB/GR/GH (ICH7 Family)
I've fired up processexplorer as well as the windows performance monitor to look for background tasks that might be using up extra disk I/Os but did not see anything out of the ordinary.
Will be happy to provide screenshots or extra information as I'm rather clueless in this area, so don't worry about telling me I've been doing it wrong the entire time.
