utorrentie Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 I realize this process isn't a virus, i guess its some sort of web helper? not really sure of the proper explanation maybe you could help with that. The real problem is that there are 2 of these processes running and the other day one of them was using 1.5gb of my ram. Today it got up to 800mb. This is unacceptable. What are my options? thanks for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to stop the process and also you gave no version for anyone to verify if this is a process problem or something else going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow what a great piece of software you guys have here. It's the latest version.... What else? Why am I being treated like I'm a problem when the problem is with your software hogging my resources for crappy ads no one ever clicks on anyways besides by accident.

rafi Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 1.5G is definitely a problem that shouldn't happen. Never seen this here. You might want to give more info on the conditions under which you observed this. Since we are in the dark even as to what OS you are running, nor uT version, I can think of nothing else to add at this point... Good luck with it...

mike20021969 Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 If uTorrentie.exe is not something you need: Exit uTorrent. Go into the Updates folder and create a text document. Name it uTorrentie.exe (make sure it is uTorrentie.exe and not uTorrentie.exe.txt). It should be 0 bytes in size. Right-click on it and set it's Attributes to Read-only. Copy the file into the folder Updates>3.4.6_41903 (or whatever build number of uTorrent you're running). Launch uTorrent. uTorrentie.exe will no longer run. If/when you update uTorrent, repeat procedeure by putting the 0 bytes uTorrentie.exe file into the newer folder that appears in the Updates folder.

DreadWingKnight Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 You got screenshots of any of the ads that were showing in uT at the time that the utorrentie processes were eating your ram? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I've been informed that there are updates to the utorrentie process that will prevent ram bloating like this in the future. Under ideal conditions, when an ad causes ram usage to spike like this, the process will self-terminate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 it may get forcibly replaced in a future update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm ok with that, im more concerned about it crashing my current version or causing problems. What will it do anyways just by replacing it with a blank file? Will the ads disappear?

rafi Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I don't understand the issue, are you add ads lovers?.... Why not just disable the settings related to "offers", and be done. Example in my settings file (sig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
