Firon posted somewhere else: peers that you download 'critical' pieces while streaming turn blue. It is indeed a feature.

I'm noticing a new error. On 2 different systems, same latest version (25824), previous version didn't have this: when box checked "More seed slots when upload speed is < 90%", it doesn't do it. Every torrent stays on it's default maximum amount of seeds, even when my upload speed is less then 50% used.

There you go:

Nobody? Firon??

The server is just a home server, so dealing with my small 5/800 connection.CPU usage doesn't look too bad. Around 5%, still a lot for such a small program, but plenty of capacity left. Don't think CPU usage is the problem, because the rest of the server remains very responsive when uTorrent isn't. The memory looks odd. I got task manager open and I can see the memory consumption going up. Every 10-14 seconds another MB. At least it remains now between 45 and 50 MB. But this is only since I powered the PC up a few minutes ago. The longer uTorrent is on, the slower it will get. At startup it's responsive as it should be, but after about 4 hours, I start to notice. After a long day, it takes 5 minutes just to get the program to shut down the right way. I check today what happens, I'll keep the task manager open. /edit: almost an hour after startup, uTorrent is approaching 20% CPU and 100MB RAM usage. /edit 2: not yet crossed the 3h line and already over 200MB of RAM claimed by uT. /edit 3: almost 8 hours and now totally unresponsive. Consuming over 430MB of RAM and a constant 22-25% CPU (pretty heavy on a quadcore 2,2GHz for only 4 active torrents).

They're already pretty short (from what I read): 200s for TCP, 120s for UDP.In the end the internet clogging up turned out to be a coincidental FireFox hickup on my laptop (first time I had this, so was very unfortunate to be in the same time frame as uTorrent starting to show issues on the server). Thanks for the response though... But nothing on the original issue of the application getting slow?

That's odd, inside the program it said no updates were available. I've updated now manually. By the end of the day I'll have another look. Thanks for the heads-up! /edit: nope, the problem persists. /edit2: uTorrent is now starting to clog up my internet connection. My router is indicating my server has set up over 900 connections, when uTorrent is limited to 200. When I set it back to 150, the amount of connections in my router drops back to 450 and then climbs back up to almost 800. Weird! In the past I've always had the number of connections set to 300 and that always worked fine for me (got a small DSL line, I'm in Canada ;-). I never really checked in my router what that gave for the total of connections there. Perhaps it's related to this mystery: on my new server I can't get proper up- and download speeds. It used to get max. 500 down, 75 up (usually limited to 60 during day hours). I got pretty healthy torrents, also I can see other leachers get several hundreds of kbytes of even over a MB downspeed. However, I usually can't get over 30 kBps. Same for upstream. My laptop doesn't have this issue, so it's really in the server.

Hey, I'm running this version on my new server. There's not a lot of software running in the background (just WD button manager for my external disks and RealVNC), I didn't even install any anti-virus software yet. It contains a Phenom 2,2 GHz quad core (x9500), 4x 1GB RAM, 3Gbit/s SATA, the torrent folders are on an internal hard drive. My torrent list got 2 running downloads, one stopped downloaded, 2 running uploads and 4 completed downloads waiting for an upload slot. Not a big list. However, sometimes uTorrent can get slow like molasses. Considering I have this pretty powerful machine mainly for uTorrent and file sharing for my LAN (not very intensively at the moment), I can't come up with any reason why something would be limiting the application. I checked: I got the latest stable release (it can't find any updates when checking). I'm running Windows 7 Pro x64. Any ideas what could be the issue? On my laptop (Phenom II mobile, Windows 7 Pro x64, 4GB RAM), the same version of uTorrent (3.0 build 25806) doesn't have any issues at all. I saw some people reporting issues with disk reading/writing going bogus. So far I don't see that occurring in my system (but right now it's not showing the slow response issues). Thanks in advance!

I don't know why everyone is screaming for Win8 support. Win8 has only been released publicly for software writers to start writing apps for it. This means: end users have no business in it other then that you may have a look and see if you like what you see. There's still plenty that's going to change, so why would a programmer already serve clients on it? Your options are: don't run uTorrent under Windows 8 if it doesn't work or run it under a supported OS. Stop wining, after a few months Windows 8 will kick you out anyway, because it will expire around the official launch date. At that time you're allowed to ask for a uTorrent that works under Win8. Savvy?

I got a bug too: sometimes the speedlimit for the individual torrent doesn't work (but sometimes it does). I can't really reproduce the error though. All that I saw is that it occured when a torrent had a big download speed, it ignored the upload speedlimit set in the properties of that torrent. It does follow the overal speedlimits though. Running built 25460 32-bit on Windows 7 Pro OEM (64 bit edition).
