I have a local sata SSD hosting my OneDrive (with stuff like Documents, Desktop... etc also synced here) and as storage for downloads, including torrents through qBittorrent. It is a Fanxiang S101 2TB. Not a T1 manufacturer by any means, but by most reports they are reliable enough. I've had it for a year so far without other issues, and have done full block scanning to verify true capacity and read/write speeds are as advertised. Since 2 weeks ago it has started acting up. My system started stuttering frequently, including in games where I'm otherwise maintaining smooth 200 FPS before. I think I've tracked it down to this SSD. This SSD is not storing my games, nor any other software/apps, but it might be interfering with Windows itself since Desktop etc are on it. It frequently jumps to 100% disk usage, every few milliseconds. Sometimes it ramps back down straight away, other times it stays up for minutes. Even at 100% usage, the read/write speed in task manager are in the 2-digit KB/s range. It also seems to be throttling my qBittorrent downloads - popular linux ISOs with hundreds of seeders are now stuck in 5-50 KiB/s, where I used to easily do 50 MiB/s. I've done a full chkdsk f x r, took 4 hours, absolutely no bad sectors were discovered. It is at about 1 TB usage (out of 2 TB capacity). Would anyone have any ideas on how to further troubleshoot? Could the problem be originating elsewhere that's cascading into this SSD activity? Does this behaviour seem like malware?

I'm choosing parts for a new pc and need some advice for the case: - White color - ATX or M-ATX - Noctua D15 - RTX 4070ti - PSU Corsair RM1000e - Fit a 1 x 3.5" HDD Where I live it's very warm in summer so looking for a case that has the possibility to put fans under the GPU, my favorite candidate was the Fractal Design Torrent Compact, but I've read the problems with cable management so looking for similar sized alternatives Suggestions?

I am just learning that uTorrent is considered garbage among torrent enthusiasts for "bloatware" and adding a bitcoin miner into the program. Does anyone know if this is still the case? I cant say i have ever had any issues with it but im open to try better torrent programs if people have some insight. Im hearing qbit torrent is good or better so please...guide me.

ok so i have a 2u server in my basement. use it for backups since theres like a million drives in it connected in different arrangements - thats another story. over the years torrents have collected, thats how things go. purchase a game, it isnt on steam/psn anymore, well? plus i find it unfair that i have to repurchase a game because its a pc port. take the last of us for example. Through PSN ive purchased it for my ps3/ps4/ps5, should it be purchased again??? anywho not condoning piracy, just saying. I get DCMA letters about Metal Gear when ive purchased every game at least 3x over, but im in trouble? Even the original metal gear for ps1, geez i purchased the physical CDs so many times over... Lost in oblivion except for the library of the internet! how can i share my junk without having them in utorrent/transmission? The files exist just not the magnets and so on, utorrent is always fired up. There must be a simple way to seed something that matches the checksum, how to do it? thanks peeps!

I wanted to build the quietest air-cooled PC at reasonable price with DDR5 for snappy response - therefore AMD this time. There is not much to say except for the "butcher mods" 1. RTX got new thermal pads from Thermal Grizzly - minus pad 8 and Noctua thermal paste. I had to put a fan next to it, because it is too passive now and want to give it some quiet airflow while still on the bench 2. Ryzen Wraith stock fan assembly replaced with Noctua fan, and 7700 itself is undervolted to negative 50, just sipping power, with minimal heat, it is running 1200 rpm most of the time while doing office work. 3. RAM is set to 6000 - there may be some room for improvement, but I have no idea how to do it right. Here is a bench - it works great at this config - 100% stable: https://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/60919192 Plans for near future to make it even more quiet and complete: Noctua NH-U12A chromax.black - as CPU fan is the loudest thing right now. Fractal Torrent Compact - to have good airflow at low fan RPM.

Hello internet. Not sure where to begin, or what search terminology I should even use. I have an old WD MyCloud, which I used to be able to watch content on remotely. (via mobile). However, WD stopped supporting Cloud for MyCloud after a certain upgrade. Anyway, I want to setup my own Plex Server via a NAS ( a QNAP TS-253D is on the way). I know, this supports Plex etc., and watched a billion (maybe 2 or 3) videos how to setup this up. But what I really want to do is, somehow, remotely login to the NAS (or a low powered PC), to search and download Torrents, which will go directly into the NAS. I don't think the NAS will have an App to torrent, so I think I might need a dedicated low powered PC, so I can remote in, and have the Torrent app installed. Maybe, a raspberry Pi can do this? I'm not sure. But this is the internet, and there's gotta be someone out here who is in the same boat. What are some setups people have? and what applications do they use? Any ideas? Cheers in advanced

I am planning on building a new system and I ve been waiting for Asus to release their new AM5 mini itx ROG Strix B650E-I because I needed a motherboard that can support the new gen ryzens, DDR5 and can fit in the Fractal torrent nano case. The motherboard was finally release a couple of days ago in my country at the wonderful price of 410€!!!!!! even though the same strix motherboard for intel's cpus costs 270€ which is still expensive but still inside my budget. Do you have any information whether we ll see a drop on the AM5 strix motherboards soon or is this going to be the standard price for this motherboard? It was the first time a case met all my requirements, looks, airflow and build space and I really don't want to go for intel...If only there was a small torrent case that could support micro atx that would have solve my problem but now I simply don't know what to do and I really need a new PC before February... Do you have any other recommendations that would help me? The PC I am planning to build will be using an AMD 7700x. -
Does the constant reads (and maybe writes too, I'm not sure) seeding a torrent requires degrades the SSD and shortens its lifetime?

Hi, I’ve been looking at the Fractal Torrent Full tower for a long time cause I really like the design, however I’m curious as to how much better the airflow is than the Corsair 5000D Airflow which I currently own, I’ve watched GNs video on the torrent however they only test them with the stock fans and the 5000D airflow comes with 2 crappy fans from factory where the torrent comes equipped with a full set. I’ve mounted 13 fans in my 5000D, wouldn’t the performance of the torrent be equally as good or maybe slightly better because of the huge 180mm fans? I certainly don’t want worse performance.

I'm still on the fence about whether to go AIO or Air Cooling gang for this build. I've been on laptops for more than a decade and it's my first PC build so I do like them aethetics of a fancy LCD on the cpu. That said though, the price to performance of a D15 chromax black does get me thinking maybe that's the better way to go. Processory is a 5900x so does a 360 rad have a considerable edge over the D15? Also any general tuning up of the build would be really appreciated. ( Already got the case and R9 5900x ) https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/user/grimmrepairer/saved/kdhFZL Budget (including currency): 3500 ish CAD Country: Canada Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Most AAA single players Anno and other city builder games I do like cranking graphics as high as I can get them Work running Unreal Engine and some Light - Medium 3D rendering. -
Hello, I have a big issue with my internet on my pc for some months now(it got much worse now) and I can't figure out what is the problem. So first of all, I have my normal ethernet connection and when I download something heavy or a torrent with many peers, my internet gets unstable and disconnect and reconnects, I have tried changing the cable and router ports, and other PCs don't have any issue. So it must be something going on with my PC I figured and got an ethernet to usb to try it out.. And again when I download a torrent with many peers it happens again, but this time it crashes the devices on the same usb hubs too . I did notice on the task manager, that when this happens the task manager freezes for a bit and then ethernet disappears, CPU gets to 100% and disk 1 that I have the torrent manager and disk 2 that is where the file is being stored start spiking for a bit, not reaching 100% though, and then ethernet and usb hubs connects again, after some minutes(3 max) it happens again. I can't figure what is going on, I tried updating my network drivers with many different versions, but the same issue remains. I also have tried a usb wifi connected to the router and data, and the same thing happens again. My power supply is more than enough, I have a gtx950, fx6300 and 650W bronze corsair psu. But my PC is quite old, about 7-9 years, and maybe there is something wrong with the hardware that I don't know of. I also must add another problem that it may be connected with this one. For years now before I had a problem with my net, my PC needs 2 tries to boot. When I boot it it gets worked up but nothing is happening and it doesn't do any bleep sound, if If I force it to shutdown and turn it on again, it bleeps and boots as it should. For that I have tried using different RAMs on different slots and setting the BIOS on default and even updating it to many different versions. Is it maybe a psu or a motherboard issue? Any help is appreciated .

I have a case. It's garbage. Building my PC the first time was a nightmare, but I thought my troubles might be done then. Unfortunately I've had to repeatedly replace/ relocate a number of components that are always a pain to reach, just recently I got a new motherboard which turned out to be broken and have to return that in 1 week but the replacement's coming in 2. The thought of replacing the motherboard in this case twice in as many weeks filled me with dread, so I'm just buying a new case now. I've narrowed it down to the Fractal Torrent and the Fractal Meshify 2, I'm curious about your opinions on each. I'm a fan of the look of the Torrent, how it's spacious enough to fit any cooling solution I might want (though I'm fairly certain I'll stick with my NH-D15) and that it already comes with some decent fans in a good config, no need to upgrade or mess with them. With the Meshify 2 there's no worries about running out of room for storage. Not that that's a major issue, I've got the one HDD and I have no plans to get more, but the real draw is honestly that removable top panel. After all the pain I've been through building that sounds like a godsend. I'm not overly concerned about the price as the difference will probably be bridged by the amount I'd have to spend on fans to get the Meshify to perform on par with the Torrent. I'm undecided at the moment so I was hoping to hear other's thoughts on the matter. I'm willing to hear alternative suggestions but before you make any note: 1. this is a somewhat time sensitive matter and both of these are available locally 2. I've never been a fan of glass side panels honestly and the fact these are high performers with an opaque side panel option was a big draw.

some context for ya- While torrenting I notice something quite weird, Task manager shows internet speeds in waves at one point it's at 70-84 Mbps, and 10 seconds its 4-5 Mbps ( Mbps, NOT MBps, I checked ) And the torrent's are DEFINITELY not the problem, This happens on every torrent. And al are quite popular with 20-30 seeds. And oh, IDK if this is the problem, but I run plex media server on this, and for a few of ma homie's I set up remote access. I had to set up port forwarding if it matters. And just yo make it clear, I am NOT asking why my speeds are much slower. I wouldn't care if it was 50 Mbps, because I know it would a recognisable/googlable issue. This is straight up weird. This happen way too often,an I have to restart PC to solve it temporarily. This computer is on 20/7, if it matters

Hey guys. i just moved to a new house and when we did we went with a new internet provider, ROGERS. i like to torrent things, movies, shows, games. we've only been here a few days and got an email from rogers for..... Re: Allegations of Copyright Infringement Rogers has received a notice alleging that activities associated with your IP address are infringing copyright in material(s) owned or exclusively licensed by others, such as downloading a movie, music, or games. so, i dont plan on stopping my downloading behavior. For example, im not going to stop downloading episodes of Dexter and pay for a subscription to showtime. my question for this forum is, should i pay for a VPN like Private Internet Access so that i dont have to worry about getting sued or dragged into court. i live in ontario Canada BTW FWIW

I'm having an issue with the RGB strip on my Fractal Torrent RGB. I reached out to Fractal but was trying to troubleshoot in the meantime. For some reason it is flickering with different colors, especially when it is set to a single color. Ex: when it is set to red it flashes blue and red like a cop car. I checked all my connections and they seem good to go and the strip is chained together with all the Fractal RGB case fans and all the case fans are doing fine. Thoughts?

For context, I used to pirate, like a lot. But now I don't anymore. I now have a VPN and am still seeding various things though, although most of them are just free and publicly accessible photo albums, but comprised into an easily downloadable .zip file rather than a bunch of individual images. I use qbittorrent and other than I just learned it can still leak your IP address until you fix a setting, it has been fine. However, I learned a couple weeks ago, before I got a VPN, that qbittorrent was using more data a month than everything else was, and I just downloaded like 250GB worth of games on steam. Turns out I had seeded about 200GB and had only downloaded 100GB. So now I have a very tight upload limit in place because Comcast's 1200GB per month is very easy to hit when I have a roomate who normally uses 250GB a month. (According to his phone and computer when combined). Anyway, now that I am pretty much a leecher, I was wondering what is considered a good or even great ratio for torrents. Like I once pirated CP 2077 v1.1 without a VPN, and I was seeding at full speed for almost 4 weeks before I got a DMCA alert, and had a ratio of >12:1 -
Hello, When I download stuff on BitTorrent. My entire network stops working except for BT. Some times happens when the app is opened but not downloading. Help !

I'm following this YouTube Guide: https://youtu.be/wZY6xTmovuc?t=94 to download Torrents using https://colab.research.google.com via Transmission-CUI. But if you watch the video for even 10 seconds, you'll know that there are no settings, just put commands and run the block. So, if I set the 2 commands to download 2 torrents, the first one keeps seeding and second one doesn't even start. So, either I need to stop them after they finish downloading, or reduce the seeding time to 0. Please, just watch the video for a few seconds to understand my problem. --- I'm using these commands like so, to make them queue up, which is not working: !transmission-cli -D -g "/Shared drives/config" -w "/Shared drives/torrent" magnet:...link1 !transmission-cli -D -g "/Shared drives/config" -w "/Shared drives/torrent" magnet:...link2 !transmission-cli -D -g "/Shared drives/config" -w "/Shared drives/torrent" magnet:...link3 because the first line doesn't finish executing as it keeps seeding I have an idea of using the -f command, which is used to run a script after torrent finishes, but how do write a script to stop torrent, and what language? Thanks. -

Hey everyone! So, say you are in a country where torrenting movies and such can actually get you in trouble, so you use a VPN to protect against that (to some extent) Does it matter which country's server you choose to connect to? For example, if I'm in Norway and use Private Internet Access VPN to torrent movies and such, is it important that I choose a server in a country that doesn't care much about illegal downloads, or do I just choose the server with the best connection (for example Denmark, which also cracks down on illegal downloading) and I'm good? I couldn't find this question asked anywhere else after multiple searches, so here I am Thanks!

Yesterday I torrented a film. When I wanted to play it, it opened some system folder where it opened a command line (can't remember what program it was exactly, it was blue and wasn't cmd). Thankfully it was stopped by antivirus, but I just can’t stop wondering what it wanted to do. The torrent was deleted since then, so I can't try it again for more info. And how did it go through uTorrent pro’s antivirus protection? Any ideas? Thanks edit: It opened Powershell and yes, it wasn't a movie I also deep scanned the pc yesterday, everything should be alright, but I'm gonna scan it with few more scanners recommended to me, just to be sure.

Hey everyone, I've been looking for some suggestions, past experience, and insight on a server build that I've been wanting to do. I am on a budget, but I still want to get great performance. I'm looking for the best price to performance. Here are my goals for what I will host on my home server setup: Web Server for my portfolio (low traffic) Plex Media Server Plex Player Music Streaming Server Torrent Client Torrent Manager (i.e. Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr) Lots of storage capacity for tv shows/movies/anime Steam w/ Big Picture (for tv/couch gaming) Anything else like game servers, cs projects, file hosting, image hosting, personal pastebin, etc. Here is the solution that I've come up with: Networking Ubiquiti Security Gateway Pro Ubiquiti Unifi Switch 24 Port w/ POE Ubiquiti Unifi AC Lite or LR 400Mbps internet Static IP Server Hardware Storage Server (Possibly a storinator, but those are pretty expensive so I may just find some cheap used server with 3.5" bays) FreeNas OS ~10Tb of storage with room to expand as needed ~1Tb of fast ssd storage Main Server ESXi VMs with all my services running (plex, torrents, webserver, etc) Fast SSD storage for VM file systems Uses storage server as NAS Media/Gaming Server Windows 10 Some old GPU (i.e. Nvidia GTX 780Ti) Fast SSD storage for OS and games Connected to TV, not in server rack UPS in case of power outage Some server rack, 15U? I was hoping to build the servers if possible, but I know that would likely be much more expensive so I may end up just upgrading a used server. If anyone has any past experiences or suggestions with setting this up please let me know. This will likely end up costing me a lot of money so I want to do everything right so that I have plenty of performance and room to expand in the future if my needs increase. -
hey guys so i just got a new pc and i want to check out some games on it. but since i spent all my money on the pc i dont have any for the games i know i wont get multiplayer, thats fine. its just for benchmarking. and from where i am, torrenting and piracy is a strict no-no. so, are these legal?

I have transmission setup in a jail via the plugin on freenas I have setup seeding of some community projects to help out I want to add a tracker for anyone that seeds from me so I can get some interesting data to play with I cant decide between using these 2 tracker servers, if anyone could give me some advice on whats better that would be appreciated https://github.com/webtorrent/bittorrent-tracker http://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker/ also the guides seem to assume some knowledge that I don't have, do I just click add tracker on my torrent client and then put in the public ip address of the jail running the tracker with the port?
