Hi.
After I upgraded my internet connection I decided to try few torrent clients.
My new internet connection is 1Gbps fiber with media converter -> router (RB951G-2HnD) -> LAN_cable -> desktop. OS is Windows 7 x64, no antivirus or firewall software, only the built-in Windows Firewall is active and everything is set up correctly, including port forwarding of the statically used port, and UPnP active on the router.
Bitcomet is latest 1.42 stable. Disk cache is the default 1024MB max. Disk is WD Black 1TB, but that doesn't matter, the same problem is with other disks).
What I encounter is choppy CPU/disk load when downloading 10-15GB worth of torrent tasks (2, 3, 4, or 10 tasks, doesn't matter).
I wait for the tasks to allocate etc., but looking at Task Manager and HDD led, I see frequent periods of about 3-4 seconds where the CPU is idle (2-3%) and at the same time the HDD is not active. This means not writing pieces and not downloading. During these periods the download rate within BC shows as slowing down progressively to below 15MB/s.
The peak download rate I get from BC is about 40 to 45MB/s max but rarely.
Comparatively I run uTorrent 2.2.1 (one after the other of course, 3-4 times in succession) with the same torrent tasks and it peaks at about 55-60MB/s with same 1024MB cache, disabled windows caching, AND more importantly - no drops in cpu or disk load all the way to the end.
Where should I seek to change some setting to make BC act adequately and have fluent cpu/disk loads across the lifetime of downloading the torrents with no such drops to idle for couple of seconds (or more)?
