Experiencing this same "stuck" torrent problem, using build 29533 as listed in uTorrent's "About," or maybe it's version 29544, as it's listed in computer's Programs & Features. The "glitch" happens after installing uTorrent, with the prompt to start up automatically with Windows, left unchecked. uTorrent is running and Minimized to System Tray. Computer/Laptop enter hibernation/sleep mode & awakens. uTorrent does not awake from this sleep and "hangs." Shutting down - closing the uTorrent application, only removes the visible icon in system tray, but uTorrent application continues running in background - as seen in "Processes." Any attempt to restart uTorrent, fails. uTorrent must be manually closed, "End Process - Task manager," and can then be restarted normally. Before entering sleep/hibernation, before closing the lid on your laptop, shut-down the uTorrent application to prevent this "hang."
