What are values that you recommend for a utilization with 200-300 torrents and 200/200 Mbps speed?
I'm using x64 version with 4096 MB and 600s and OS disabled.
This is very aggressive? If yes, what's alternative?
Best regards.
Cache Recommendations
Re: Cache Recommendations
Depends on your storage speeds.
In my case, OS cache is usually fine if I don't download too fast with a slow storage.
If I enable pre-allocation - to prevent fragmentation - the OS will have to make a new spare file for my download. In the meantime my client will not be able to download at all, because my storage just cannot write.
This is when I usually set up a 500-1000mb cache, so the client can download into that until my storage gets ready. Again, this only works on home connections, because 200mbps would fill up a no-matter-how-big cache in no time.
tl;dr: I think you should just use the OS cache. Using a huge cache won't really give you a speed bump, see above.

Re: Cache Recommendations
200/200 Mbps is my home connection 
My HDD is Seagate 1TB Barracuda 7200rpm 64MB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5 - ST1000DM003.
So you recommend to enable OS cache and set 1 GB disk cache. And what is the best interval cache for you?
Thank you for your recommendations.
