If you override the default cache setting and exit while downloading, utorrent doesn't close down properly. Looking in the task manager I can see the memory consumption (Starting at up to 1050 MB depending on how full the cache is) is steadily decreasing until around 20MB and then the only way is to end the process manually. It kind of "hangs". It takes a loooong time for utorrent to come down to the 20MB and there is little to no hard drive activity, so it's not flushing the cache or doing it very very slowly. It happens every time so it is easy to replicate.
The following cache settings where used:
Override automatic cache size and specify the size manually (MB) | 1024
Reduce memory usage when cache is not needed | unchecked
Enable caching of disk writes | checked
Write out untouched blocks every two minutes | unchecked
Write out finished pieces immediately | checked
Enable caching caching of disk reads | checked
Turn of read caching if the upload speed is slow | unchecked
Remove old blocks from the cache | checked
Increase automatic cache size when cache thrashing | unchecked
Disable Windows caching of disk writes | unchecked
Disable Windows caching of disk reads | unchecked
