The rest is understandable but this is purely wrong. I have never in my entire life seen one machine of 10s of thousands that were what I would determine to be in perfect software condition. I already know your issue(s) but won't say without seeing. I'm GMan on eightforums.com. Feel free to check the excellent debugging I do on there at your leisure. You're also welcome to join up and send me a link to the file privately, even though you likely have 7 and the site is for 8. I have ancient P4 system and download massive torrents. Never experienced disk overload with any version of uTorrent, ever...always running latest beta. Only problem I ever had was the recent settings.dat problem,
