Maybe someone has an idea what's wrong, sorry because probably offtopic: As soon as a torrent is up/downloading my WHOLE internet connection drops in an instant. Latency up to 500ms or timeout, up/download <1mbit Happens on all clients, iPhones, iPads, my desktop... I'm using UniFi-Gear so it should be more than capable to handle the tasks at hand... The only thing I can think of would be to many connections but even the crappiest hardware I've ever used had no problem with the 400-setting in deluge...

Thx for the reply. The preclearfile was linked in the post before, syslog attached now. SERVER-preclear.disk-20180904-1759.zip

Almost 3 effin days WASTED with preclearing. Has anyone ever succeeded with this plugin? Al I'm seeing are problems with this script all over this thread..... 🤬

Hi!

Hi, I used the script on an old drive... First cycle seemed okay, no "pending sectors". Started the next one and got ONE pending sector...

Hi! My drives just have finished the first preclear-round and I have to admit that I have no idea if everything went ok... https://dl.dropbox.com/u/3485341/temp/preclear_results.txt Right now, the preclear-script is doing it's magic again. In which case the drives should be considered as unsafe to proceed? PS: Wow, It's been 2 years since registering and actually start building a server...
