Slow hash check when starting uTorrent?

When I shutdown uTorrent and reboot it for some reason it will check the previous downloaded data and it takes FOREVER.  I am not too sure why it doesn't it save it somewhere or maybe theres a fast download option, but can anyone help me out?  I am not too sure if you need a Hijack this log, but if you do i'll edit this post and put it up immediately.

Thanks!

I just thought of something else.  Even if it is a 4gb torrent and I've downloaded only 2 mb of the file it still takes forever.

Try turning on bt.graceful_shutdown to avoid the hash check next time you close it.

Re: Slow hash check when starting uTorrent?

I have the SAME issue... I also have many 30GB+ torrents downloading...

This has happened 2 times and it takes over 2 days for my files to all check again...

Most aggravating thing that has happened to me in about 6 months...

edit:

I have turned on the graceful shutdown, lets hope that fixes this issue from happening again. 

If anyone needs help finding where to turn on bt.graceful_shutdown, it is under advanced options.  You should change it from "false" to "true".

... It doesn't only check files you were actively DOWNLOADING?

Yes, but the checking of a 39 GB file itself takes around 2 hours... no lie.  I have a top of the line system too, not an old rig.
