  1. ... which is again an irrelevant and stupid response. The problem is obviously not getting addressed or fixed, so it remains a hassle in the versions being released, no matter what build. μTorrent 3.3.1.30003 does often not close correctly and needs to be eliminated via the task manager. This leads to failed restarts, i.e. the program freezes right from the beginning when being relaunched. On the rare occasions where it does start checking the torrents that were actively downloading, it takes an eternity to do so. One of the reasons that cause the necessity to close μTorrent way too often consists in the fact that the dreadful "Disk overload" problem is back again. When looking at the initial post, these bugs have been reported a year and a half ago and were not repaired throughout all the versions/updates since then. Comments à la "... use the latest build blah-blah" (as if one wouldn't have that oh-so-brilliant idea oneself) are therefore pointless, because no matter which build, the bugs persist. Instead of getting on people's nerves with those useless distractions, how about directing the parrot-like nonsense towards the developers -- maybe they finally do something about it when being bombarded with the repeated manifestations of your genius?
  2. Sometimes one cannot help but to wonder what impulse drives people to comment the obvious instead of anything productive ... The initial poster reported the problem 13 months ago. Since then, half a dozen other people have confirmed the bug and when doing an Internet search, there are quite a few similar posts and reports about problems with the checking of torrents after µTorrent crashed. Consequently, this has nothing to do with any of the builds that were released since the original poster tried to bring it to the attention of the powers that be. Obviously in vain, because the bug is still alive and kicking in the current (at the time of this writing) release µTorrent 3.3.0.29544: sometimes checking hangs/stops at a certain percentage, sometimes it would not even start and stay at «Checked 0.0%». I can also personally confirm the previous poster's observation that µTorrent does not close down correctly since a couple builds. Even trying to remove it from memory via the task manager is often impossible, leaving a phantom process in memory until the PC is rebooted. This indicates a very seriously flawed shut-down sequence and it is time somebody looked into the matter that was reported last year. One obvious workaround would consist in eliminating those bugs that lead to µTorrent's crashing in the first place, but since that is an utopic hope, at least squashing the very annoying problem with hanging checks of partially downloaded torrent files would be appreciated. The possibility to continue a download is BitTorrents major point of distinction -- if that does not work, one could just as well download split archives from file hosting servers, where there is at least no ratio requirement.
