If it does not fill up, the disk you are writing to may have write caching disabled. Check the memory tab in performance monitor to see the orange 'modified'. Result: torrent download slows down significantly after OS cache fills up. OS caching on, QB cache set to small values like 256 or 512 MiB: The 32 bit version will limit how much cache you can use Note: make sure you are using 64bit qbittorrent. Disk Cache (in MiB) (QB/libtorrent's own cache) Enable OS cache (This will allow the operating system to cache writes.) In your QB advanced settings, you'll see some relevant settings: To give the disk some time to catch up, we want to be able to have a significant write cache. When writing to a spinning disk, a very fast connection can easily get ahead of the disk. For reference I have a 1gbps connection and I am writing to a 4TB 7200RPM sata disk.

Hi I've done quite a bit of testing with qbittorrent cache settings and here are my findings. qBittorrent can now be considered as a good alternative to other bittorrent clients.Ī polished Graphical User Interface written with Qt4 toolkitUPnP / NAT-PMP port forwarding supportEncryption support (compatible with Azureus)Multiple simultaneous downloads / uploadsDownload from RSS streamsAn integrated search engineDHT (trackerless) supportuTorrent Peer eXchange support (PeX)Directory scanning with automated download of torrents insideGood internationalization (~25 languages supported)Selective download of files in a torrentMedia File previewing while downloadingTorrent trackers edition and prioritizingSeeders / Leechers displayed in download listStyles supportFiles prioritizing in a torrentTorrent download in correct orderSystem tray integrationTracker authentication supportUnicode supportTorrent downloading directly from their urlConnection though a proxyIP Filtering similar to the one in eMule or PeerGuardianTorrents queueing and prioritizing Web user interface for remote control Azureus spoofing to avoid ban. QBittorrent project was created with the idea of developping a new Bittorrent client for Linux that would be easy to use, good looking, featureful but lightweight.
