Despitehaving followed every piece of advice on the matter (bar reinstalling Steam, literally no other game has this issue, so I will not be going through that), the game will - without fail - hit a disk write error at 61-63% mark. About 20gb into the download. Only the first time I tried downloading did it actually download the whole thing, but then it instead had a disk write error when installing the game.

With no disk in my laptop, this message comes up around the time the torrent has been 0.09% downloaded. I'm not trying to put anything onto a disk, and I downloaded many torrents before and had no issues. I did nothing different, but no all of a sudden it's giving me this issue and it's frustrating. I've become addicted to Game of Thrones and really wanna download a torrent for an episode I was on. Please HELP! N:(


Anti-Virus software, when scanning a file, LOCKS the file, thus any other program wanting access at that point in time, is denied access. McAfee is known for this. I use Comodo, and never have these issues. Anti-Virus scans a file on Creation, Reads, and Writes. For troubleshooting purposes, turn off, disable, or exit any Anti-Virus software you have, see if that stops it.


Got the same error intermittently. Torrent would start OK, then after a while it would stop with Access Denied error. Moved torrent to a new disc, same problem. Shut it down, and started using "Run as Administrator" and working fine. Strange as I am running from an Administrator account, but works for me! Have just moved from XP to Windows 7 so assume something to do with Windows 7 permissions. There is an option to "Elevated" in some utilities which is higher than normal Administrator. Looks like "Run as Administrator" does the same.


@IrishHare, what you describe will happen in Windows 7 if you have uTorrent installed in Program Files and also have settings.dat in the same folder because applications are not allowed to write to Program Files as they were in Windows XP in order to provide some protection against malware. Running uTorrent as Administrator grants the necessary permission for it to write to protected folders (and the registry), which it will not otherwise have regardless of being run from an Administrator account. A permanent solution is to grant Full Control to Users (or add Everyone and grant Full Control) for the folder in which you have uTorrent installed. Right click on the folder and select Security to do this.


I've set full control to Users on both the download location folder and uTorrent's installed folder. I've renamed files with the same name as the file downloading. Doesn't work at all. This is very frustrating. This torrent would've been done an hour ago and now I"ll be here until another hour from now baby sitting it.


My problem was solved by re-selecting the download location, tried both in the settings (preferences --> directories), and also when i click on a torrent link then the save location there to the same as the settings tab. (most of us still use C:/users/(user name)/downloads).


Any update on this? I've changed folders 3 times, uninstalled and reinstalled utorrent twice, set permissions to the downloading folder, torrent holding folder, utorrent parent folders (all of them) to ALL full persmission, utorrent itself, the downloaded torrent, the files, turned off and uninstalled my firewall and my anti-virus.


I made a Boot Repair USB disk, booted it and chose the default repair. The application told me that the problem is repaired and that If this does not solve my problem I should show this link to someone who can help me.


This was happening to me where a new install or grub repair would work and reboot, but the next time I rebooted, it would get this same "attempt to read error". Most times I would get a kernel panic and the computer would need a hard restart.


I solved this problem by moving my Linux partition close to begining of hard disk. When linux partition was at the end of my 120 Gb HDD (40 Gb from end) I got this problem. No one solution didn't work. After moving linux partition to space from 40Gb to 80Gb problem disappeared.


I resized an ntfs partition to make a 4gb /boot primary partition and deleted the swap partition to make the new root (/) partition. /boot might not need to be primary, and everything could be done inside the repurposed swap without resizing. This was my partition table after this:


Trying to save an assembly to a network file share "Working Directory". There is a library that holds some of the components for the assembly here - C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.2.0\Common Files\ifx\parts\prolibrary. When I save, I get the "error writing file, check disk space or write permission". No disk space issues, have read/write access to the network location. If I remove the local library parts, the assembly saves.


maybe you do not use IFX application to assemble components located in C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.2.0\Common Files\ifx\parts\prolibrary directory. Instead of it you assemble them the same way as any other component. When you save assembly Creo tries to save files into C:\Program Files\PTC\Creo 9.0.2.0\Common Files\ifx\parts\prolibrary directory and this operation fails.


The original error might have to do with ownerships/permissions on moodledata. It does have it's own 'temp' directory that Moodle will attempt to use. Moodle code can then not only read it but write to it ... and clean up after using via cron/task list jobs. The operating system temp directory used by PHP if set means that Moodle may NOT have the ability to what it would like to do ... control that space.




If you set that up and attempt scp or whatever method you can to upload directly to a repo outside of Moodle UI for uploading files, and you get errors, then it definetly is something to contact your provider about (Moodle UI not involved at all).


Using repositories did allow me to upload the larger course via ftp and use FilePicker to choose it, which seemed to bring us 1/2-way to a workaround solution for these large files... [I copied the file rather than create an alias.]


However when I went to save changes, I encountered a 500 Internal Server Error @ [moodle site]/course/modedit.php - I have a little more information from the Error page if needed. Needless to say the changes did not save... I have a support ticked in to Dreamhost as I have not been able to access the error logs [yet!]...


I finally got a chance to look at the server logs and retested the problem. Screen snap of two error logs attached (one jpg, I joined them up). The first test was to update a package copying a large file from the repository. There is a line there about premature end of script in the modedit.php in that case, and on both test that and a new upload test the common error is failed_auth.html (which reads as a missing file).


So it looks to me like the tmp folder doesn't have the correct permissions/ownership/etc? (Presumably for large files moodle uses the tmp folder when copying from the repository, as it does for large files uploaded with the File Picker?)


In all the code for a Moodle 3.0.highest (or any moodle code version), there is no file called failed_auth.html. IF it's showing up on logs it's being injected from something else.



The premature end of script headers pointed to modedit.php is a clue.

Something on server is killing the script.

Liquid web has a KB page that discusses and offers suggestions as to what

to check:

-error-premature-end-of-script-headers/



Dreamiest has a forum and found similar issue that dealt with Drupal



-119154.html



What php.ini file is your site using? Seen in PHPinfo of server in Moodle.

Are you using or is there any .htaccess file anywhere in moodle code, moodledata?



What do those .htaccess files contain and where are they located?



In Dreamiest forums one can search. Search for premature headers

-146831.html?highlight=premature+end+of+header




Oh and there is not a php.ini file per se, Dreamhost uses a phprc file in a version-specific folder. There are a few htaccess files around on the server so you are right I need to suss that out as part of the process.


After much back and forth between myself and the Dreamhost team, here is the resolution: They apparently have a 128Mb cap on the /tmp folder, no matter what I put in the php.ini (in DH terms: "phprc" file) - They have moved the /tmp folder "to disk" and this has solved the problem. I am so pleased to have this resolved I am not planning on asking them what "moving to disk" actually means, but if that information helps somebody else, I am happy to share


Although Steam is one of the most reliable platforms for downloading PC games, your experience may not always be smooth. Sometimes, when Steam runs into problems while downloading or updating a game, it may bother you with a disk write error on Windows.


If this method solves the error, you can configure Steam to always run with administrative privileges. For more information on this, check our guide on how to always run apps as an administrator on Windows.


If the Steam library folder on your PC is set to read-only, you're likely to get a disk write error while downloading or updating a game. The error can also occur if your user account does not have write permissions for the Steam library folder. Here's what you can do to fix that.


When you download or update a game through Steam, the platform stores temporary files in the form of cache data. If this data gets clogged up or becomes inaccessible for some reason, it could prevent Steam from working correctly. You can try clearing the Steam download cache on your PC to see if that gets things going again. Here's how to do it.
