DreadWingKnight Posted April 19, 2015 Report Share Posted April 19, 2015 Ok, and is it actually the utorrent.exe process using the ram or is it not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vajdra Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Ok, and is it actually the utorrent.exe process using the ram or is it not?Please note on the forum thread! No version of the program after 38429 does not work with normal memory, including Beta 3.4.3 (build 40138). We are forced to use manual correction of the Windows registry that would slightly compensate for programming errors. Or to use earlier versions.

xmms Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Ok, and is it actually the utorrent.exe process using the ram or is it not?The Windows Task Manager says that utorrent.exe uses the normal amount of memory (depending on settings) - 150-160 MB or more, but not more than 2 GB.However:1. There are no other processes that use "leaked" memory.2. Employment memory is not available for other applications (after it is full operation of the system becomes not stable).3. Closing utorrent.exe leads to the purification of a busy do not know what RAM (still, however, as the transition to sleep mode).4. Reduce to version 3.4.2 Beta (build 38703) solved the problem.5. similar problems with other applications were not.I agree that there may be a fault and the operating system. But why utorrent? Why the latest releases? Please note on the forum thread! No version of the program after 38429 does not work with normal memory, including Beta 3.4.3 (build 40138).

Vajdra Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Dear Xmms. My post was not an answer to Your question. I'm in the same condition as You.I think the operating system in this case is not guilty. So wait for the answer of DreadWingKnight. But why utorrent? Why the latest releases?Maybe a mistake of interaction with the system file cache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 If it's not showing uTorrent using the ram in task manager, it's the operating system's cache AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vajdra Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 If it's not showing uTorrent using the ram in task manager, it's the operating system's cache AGAIN. Great answer! And what do we do with it? Give any recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmms Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 If it's not showing uTorrent using the ram in task manager, it's the operating system's cache AGAIN.But you acknowledge that uTorrent causes(participant) this error system cache? Why - all 5 reasons upper.System is legal and have all updates by this time. Maybe we found problem in Windows 7, Windows 8.1 and need receive a prize from Microsoft, if you right.

Don't wait until we get the prize! Unfortunately we have a typical error the application developers. If a specific version of the program works correctly, and the following versions is a mistake, no one will say that the fault in the operating system. Though what a temptation!

Vajdra Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Have a question for DreadWingKnight. Where can I download the latest stable version(38429) which works correctly with system cache? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerocool878 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Same problem here, unexplained really really high RAM usage. As you will see in the video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JE-FoqTUmcM&feature=youtu.be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 uTorrent itself is only using about 64mbyte of ram in that video. The problem is elsewhere on your system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Probably the windows disk cache AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardhouse Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Probably the windows disk cache AGAIN.yes, this is windows disk cache (mappedfiles)but if utorrent will not send "CloseHandle", files in the memory will always be Active! well, utorrent have diskio.flush_filediskio.flush_files: Enabling this option causes µTorrent to close file handles every minute. It helps to reduce the effect of Windows managing the system cache badly for some people and causing apparent "memory leaks." but seems like this option does not work: i used ProcessMonitor, utorrent always call ReadFile (while seeding) without closing file handle every minute -> memory leakage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Same problem here, unexplained really really high RAM usage. As you will see in the video below: It shows utorrent at 64Megs what are you talking about? I think you have something causing the problem also your screen is so blurry how do you expect anyone to read and see what the Memory manager is showing? If you going to provide screen shot at least make them legible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted May 18, 2015 Report Share Posted May 18, 2015 Ok. So do you have any idea as to why it returned to normal after closing Utorrent ?How would we know that is up to you to find out it's your system and you should know what is running and shouldn't be running. If you have far to many task running in the background running utorrent probably contributes to the problem not the cause of the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hardhouse Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 These mapped files is part of file system cache, so not committed in utorrent's address space.Therefore task manager is useless for mapped memory display, you need to use RamMapIt's only needed the option diskio.flush_files starts to work:)see also http://forum.utorrent.com/topic/95050-memory-leak-bugs-in-342-build-37477-38463-38803-38913/?p=505303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

achelon Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Hi Guys, I'm a new forum user but I had this exact problem and wanted to share the solution that worked for me. The symptoms I had were uTorrent.exe process memory usage normal but overall RAM usage slowly climbing to 100% and then returning to normal when the utorrent.exe process was terminated. I tried many things including disabling superfetch and prefetch without success. Searching this forum turns up many threads that seem to end rather brusquely with the explanation "it's the operating system's cache AGAIN. ". Some of the threads ended rather emotively which discouraged me from posting another thread asking for help on the subject. Long story short, this was fixable (for me anyway) by setting the following registry flag: [ HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ CurrentVersion \ Image File Execution Options \ utorrent.exe \ PerfOptions ]"PagePriority" = dword: 00000001 Hope this helps.

xriothhh Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Awesome. For anyone who wants to quickly add this who likes CLI Open admin prompt and issue: REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\utorrent.exe\PerfOptions" /v PagePriority /d 1 /t REG_DWORD /f Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xriothhh Posted November 20, 2015 Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just an update on this, build 41372 stable claims a memory leak issue was fixed. Well for me this issue persists with this build. To give an overview of my usage habits: I seed over 1000 torrents, with an average of 30-40 active at any given time lately because of increased activity on one of the trackers I'm seeding on. Using RamMap by SysInternals, I verified that uTorrent was opening file handles endlessly and then not discarding them when done. The result was I had 500MB free out of 32GB within 8 hours. Closing uTorrent immediately relinquished the file handles. So I will again set the IO and Page priority in the registry to a lower one for utorrent.exe. Please keep investigating, devs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
