**MCEBuddy Version:**
2.6.1
**Operating System:**
Windows 10
**Summary of the problem:**
While converting movies (does not seem to be a problem with TV shows) MCEBuddy gets hung up on the second time running . Turning on Debug mode generates large log files. I was running 2.5.\* and the log files were sometimes over 100 GB. I uninstalled MCEBuddy and installed the latest 2.6.1. The tasks are now eventually completed after taking hours.

I might have found the issue, while copying some of the larger log files, I noticed that my max read speed for the hard drives that MCEBuddy is using is maxed out at 6MB/s. I’m going to figure that out and post back here with the results.
