Weird untability while uploading... Hdd issues or noise on the line?
AceD:
rutorrent is a really good frontend for rtorrent.

I think that's your problem.
I've used external disks myself and they always break after a few months.

Yeah... The problem with these kinds of info is that I do not really know with how much I should inrease, or how many upload slots I should enable... Sorry, but you have to be more specific with that ;p (I'm used to just fireing it up and it works!)

It is not IO errors or any kind of fault in the hdd (well, at least not anything causing special logging).
--- Quote from: enginarc on October 08, 2009, 06:47:17 PM ---[edit] but I have to say the volatility is way too systematic for a random hdd glitch, as if bounces from a point above ~180 kb/s which somehow creates a frequency in this volatility. It may be bad sectors , but it would show up a torrent hash check. May be you should cap you upload in utorrent to 150 kb/s and observe what happens.

I agree, but lowering the upload does not help, I have tried!.

I hate trying to solve problems on a computer that I can not put my hands on :D

Me too ^^

BTG has a most promising philosophy, but I can't say anything about how well it works. The last time I used it was 0.9, I think, and not only has 1.0 released, but there are RCs for 2.0.

Hmm, thanks alot, I will look into those ones :D

Yeah, this one is actually 18 months old, and had its first IO device error after 3 months - besides that it is just a 500gb discount drive, so I guess you can not really expect it to be any better than that.
Still tho', the next drive I am buying will also be an external one, however, I will use some extra cash to get some quality ;)
I have one question left to ask: If I start using Linux for torrenting with my external drive (formatted ext3 or ReiserFS), will I have problems with compatibility when I see shows on a windows ntfs machine?
Thx guys, I appreciate it!

No, files are files. You won't be able to read directly off of your linux filesystem in Windows, though. FAT32 has good cross-OS compatability, but puts a limit at 2 gigs or somesuch per file. The NTFS drivers for linux are much better now, but I still don't think I'd trust them for something that important, with that much IO... XFS is actually my choice for storing anime, since it tends to do well with large files (Reiser does well with small ones).

Interesting.
Ok, Fat32 is not an option, the efficiency of this format is too low compared to other, more regular used ones, and I am not gonna compromise speed and stability for compatibility.
The XFS one you mention seems interesting tho'. Is it read/writable on both windows and Linux? How about the read/write speed compared to ntfs or ext3/reiser?
-> I think I have to do some googling or reading on wikipedia instead of just asking slack ass questions ;p
[EDIT:] O M G, I finally searched for some proper values to use for "global max connections", "max connections per torrent" and the other settings. After putting them in (even tho I only have 6 as my max number of active torrents) the upload rate skyrocketed to my new max of 200 kB/s (it usually takes some minutes), and is stable.
Usually, the instability starts to happen after about an hour of seeding, but lets see this time. I am feeling confident that the problem is solved because of the quick initialization of the upload.
Before, because I just wanted to get as much upload speed as possible, I didn't really think about the consequences of setting for example global max connections to 20.000, or max upload slots to 15.000. Actually, it seems pretty stupid now where I am thinking it through again
