![]() You're right, the important thing is that they're coming in I suppose, only problem is that lots of the torrents are free leech and they are needed to build up my ratio, or at least keep my ratio healthy and when torrents are turning red I'm not sure if my ratio is still being beefed up or if it's running anonymously, do you know? I have all my torrent stuff (save the executable itself, which is installed on C:) on a different partition. If both devices are USB, maybe it's taxing the bus and it can't handle all the activity. I'm wondering of it is something to do with hardware, somewhere between the net connection and the connection with the external drive. The problem you describe is strange, providing there are no other factors. I've seen the red arrows before, lots of times, and learned not to sweat about them, so long as the files continue to come in. I have a huge torrent in the works (10Gb, it's a TV series consisting of about 15 episodes) that I know will take weeks, and the arrow is red, but the data keeps coming in, sometimes close to 100 kB/s. I guess the important thing is whether the torrents are coming in or not. Yes that's what I'm doing now, I just wanted to keep my drives a bit more tidy If your concern remains the external drive then just download the files to your internal drive and then move them to the external drive. What do you mean when you say ".throws uTorrent into a bit of a panic."? - I mean that torrents randomly go red to green to red, none of them have any message, just randomly changing colour I think if it were a FAT32 limitation (4 gb) problem uTorrent would present an error message. Typically when I have red arrows, up or down, the tracker status says something like "offline (timed out)", or "connection closed by peer". What is the "Tracker Status" for those torrents which have a 'red arrow'? What do you mean when you say ".throws uTorrent into a bit of a panic."? I too direct uTorrent downloads to an external NTFS drive without any issues. I have excellent uTorrent performance too, my original problem was that I wanted to store my DL's on my external drive to free up space on my desktop and to attempt to keep my desktop a bit more tidy inside but when I start a new torrent and direct the DL to complete into my external it throws uTorrent into a bit of a panic. You're not one of those people who reply to me in the uTorrent threads directing me to the FAQ's are you? ![]() I can maintain wire-speed throughout the day using CSLoxInfo on a TOT fixed line in Bangkok (Khlongtoei). I have excellent performance using uTorrent but when things seem to stall I close the app, get a new IP address, re-set any port forwarding then re-start the app and things return to normal. Is it every torrent or just one out of several? The torrent itself should keep seeding/downloading as long as you got some peers, and if the tracker comes back up or becomes responsive, you should have no lost ratio so long as you don't close µTorrent or stop the torrent. In some cases, this is normal because the tracker is overloaded or temporarily down. In many cases, seeing this (especially if you see hostname not found in Tracker Status) and having DHT on but still having no peers to connect to may mean that you'll have to find another copy of the torrent on another tracker. Check Tracker Status on the General tab to see what the exact error message is. ![]() This could happen when the tracker goes offline, becomes overloaded, or when the domain simply doesn't exist anymore. These red icons indicate that µTorrent was not able to reach the tracker. What do the red icons (Tracker Error (download)/Tracker Error (upload)) mean on the torrent status icons?
