Sometimes computer stuck on exit (1.6, Win98SE)

Using 1.6 on Win98SE, sometimes the computer gets stuck when exiting uTorrent. This can happen regardless of whether there are running torrents on not.

I also noticed that the uTorrent process takes a while to stop even after the program window is destroyed.

What exactly does it need to stop? And if that is the case, showing a progress indicator might be nice. 15 seconds sounds like an overkill, though.

Whatever it is doing at shutdown, I guess this is the part that fails and makes the whole OS go stuck.

UPnP was off, DHT on.

Mind you, by "getting stuck" I mean literally that -- I have to reboot. The long while it takes the process to destroy was just an additional side note.

Is there a full explanation somewhere why this lengthy shutdown is necessary? As I see it, it can just disappear. Other peers would soon find out the IP is not responding, and that's it, no? About "updating the trackers", I was using public ones, so I assume no info needs to be sent.

You still have to send a stop event to the tracker, public or not. End of story.

The more torrents you have, and the less responsive the tracker is (which is common with public trackers), the more likely you'll need the full 15 seconds.
