µtorrent on 2 disks

Hello,

I’m using µTorrent which has filled a disk. I have a second disk for qBittorrent 4.6.7.10.

But I notice that the latter uses 5 to 10% CPU on all torrents when paused.

Both activities have distinct directories.

I would like to use only µTorrent for this CPU gain.

Can it work on 2 disks and maintain seeds for both disks?

It's been a few days that I'm looking, in vain.

Any idea...thanks

    Hello,

    I’m not really answering the question… It sparked my curiosity:

    1° we don’t understand if you send files or if you receive a large amount..??

    2° you use 5 to 10% CPU, of course, but file transfers don’t use much CPU… it’s mainly binary that is sent over the line, it’s not about powerful calculations.!

    3° It fills a disk… but we don’t know what size volume that represents

    4° These transfer speeds mainly depend on the performance of the transmission line..? so ADSL, Fiber optic, 5G ... wifi or local ethernet..?

    -- Use of VPN or not (it slows things down)

    -- HDD disks are noticeably slower than SSDs..? no precision.

    -- And above all, it depends on your peers/trackers … if they want to limiter their speeds, you won’t be able to do anything about it… If they want to take a lot and give little, it’s the same..

    The purpose of torrent isn’t to exchange quickly… but slowly in the background, the main goal being to obtain the file, even if it’s not fast..!

    Why two disks and two torrent software..? what is the objective..?

    If you gave these infos in your subject, you might get more responses..?
