Hi, I'm having a problem with my qBittorrent setup that I can't quite debug or find information on.

I'm seeding from a hard drive and I get something like 5-15 MBps of seeding capacity depending on the day. However I noticed upon inspecting a system monitor (I am running Debian 13) the total disk IO read was about 4x the seeding speed.

I've tweaked the advanced settings all I can to no avail. I am using the version of QBit from Devian 13 main. It's 5.Something.

Would anyone have insight on this problem? I'll take anything at this point. The application is using about 250MB of RAM.

If you're seeding more than one file to more than one concurrent user, chances are, your drive needs to switch around and buffer quite a bit left and right to get the material you're seeding cached. That sounds like fairly formal behavior.

I don't see number of head seeks. Just userspace file IO read.
