Many Internet users who download movies, games, etc. from a torrent are well acquainted with the appearance of the most popular problem that the uTorrent program creates - the disk is overloaded. In most cases, the reason for stopping the download is the banal exhaustion of free space on the local disk where the download occurs. This leads to a warning that the HDD is overloaded. Please note that by default, all downloaded data is saved in the main section “C”. And here in no case should you panic, since this problem is not at all difficult to solve. However, the reasons for the occurrence can also be incorrectly configured client settings, and this will require a user who wants to eliminate the error and prevent its occurrence in the future, certain knowledge and actions.
Small disc owners
The most common “victims” of a uTorrent warning “Drive Overloaded” are owners of “small” screws. What can be advised in such cases? First of all, you need to pay attention to where the torrent client is installed and whether manipulations with its configuration were performed. The fact is that presets cause files to be downloaded from the Internet to drive “C”, and since the system, program files and desktop occupy a large place on it, it may be most optimal to change the settings so that the received data is saved to drive “ D ". In order to do this, select “Settings” - “Configuration” - “Folders” in the program window. In the window that opens, the user can specify where he would like to download. This will significantly reduce the load on the partition "C" and prevent the appearance of the inscription in uTorrent "Disk is overloaded."
A set of measures to increase free space on disk "C"
In most cases, the user will also benefit from regular cleaning of the system from unnecessary files. The fact is that web browsing and the operation of various applications creates the appearance of a large number of temporary files that “clog” free space. In addition, you must not forget to constantly empty the basket, delete old downloads, etc. You can also transfer to disk “D” those programs that take up a lot of space. For example, Photoshop, etc.
Owners of large disks
If a large hard disk is installed on the computer and a message appears from uTorrent “disk is overloaded”, then in such cases, as a rule, it is enough to just delete all unnecessary files. However, if this does not help, then most likely the disk simply cannot cope with the data flow rate. In such cases, you can manually reduce the download speed or reconfigure the cache of the torrent client. To do this, go to "Settings" - "Advanced" - "Caching" and increase the value of the parameter set there.
The best version of uTorrent
To ensure that owners of large hard drives do not have these and other problems associated with downloading, as well as for all users to receive data as fast as possible, most torrent trackers recommend using version 1.8.2, which demonstrates the most successful combination between functionality and opportunities. In addition, many web resources offer to download pre-configured versions of uTorrent, which allow you to achieve maximum effect.
