Thank you all (5618, jewelisheaven, Ultima) for telling me that, i knew that in the old days utorrent used a really small footprint. I have disk cache enabled but anyway seems weird to me that it jumps in that hughe blocks and with no torrent added or subtracted that jumped 80M up. @jewelisheaven diskio.sparse_files is default OFF Thank you for that. i really dont mess with that optimisations ... it's now "true" on 1.8.0 so this should be set "false" for vista? Could you please say what kind of mess was that option doing on vista. and is this only if vista is the machine where the files are stored. cause i usually download to network machine. Or it could happen just if host os where utorrent is running is vista. thanks @Ultima I know that pre-allocation of files doesnt have anything with my memory usage. But it's more convenient for me if the files are dynamically allocated.

Well old one uses for me understandingly 66MB while the other leap out at 130M and counting when i close it. Anyway seems nobody report b15358 ALWAYS preallocate files for download sucks. didnt and wont try if that's fixed on 15520 probably not cause it's not in fix list. Placebo fix of tick (my defaultly unticked) pre-allocate fles and than un-tick didnt help :/ well i tried. --EDIT__ after fussing with 183beta-15289 and 182-15285 seems like that great low memory usage is gone forever so it looks like all builds are good cause there i cant reproduce it no more even with 15358. anyway this "always pre-allocate" seems to be here since 15285. and with all frustrations i'm back to good old ut180-11813 but little connection troubled like 15289. Is this pre-allocation going to be a permanent issue for recent releases? Now, even oldie cruches that bigger memory chunk. Where does all that memory goes in utorrent?

The last 183beta build 15520 wont auto check files on adding torrent to job list. I know it's beta but it's quite interesting how this repeats from build to build somwhere 1.7.3 or so i had same issue And btw. there's some freaking mem leakage in that build. It eats at least 2,5x more memory than previous build 15358. And it's poor from official utorrent site that itself doesnt provide older releases for download but we had to look around for it
