JosefR Posted April 21, 2021 Report Share Posted April 21, 2021 I can't find a topic that fixes the problem. Ever since the last 1 or 2 updates, this has been going on, was working great for years before. Tried all the advice I can find (and understand) online, but everything is years old and probably not related. Latest version, reinstalled numerous times. I have an exception in my firewall and I'm using Avast, all same as previously. I left the settings stock, except for the 50 I put on DL limit trying to stop the bleed on the bandwidth. Once DL starts, within minutes, the program is not responding. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate if you simplify it since I don't understand a lot of what I'm reading here.

rafi Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 What is the version & build # , and the file size? It sometimes just takes some time to allocate the file. If you want, you can try my modded version with the LAA flag set (links at my sig). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefR Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's the latest version. This time it was 3.99G. Is this a known issue? uTorrent doesn't like DL large files? You're saying if I left it, it would eventually start responding again? I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time I've DL a large file in the last decade. Why did the issue only start 1 or 2 revisions ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I am saying that this should not happen, and there must be a reason. Could be insufficient space on disc , a corrupted settings and so on... Yes, leaving it be for a minute to see what happens next, or set a default settings (or use mine @sig ) can just help to isolate. Is the build # a secret?...

JosefR Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I run your file and it looks like it just opens the version I already have. Is that how it's supposed to work? The build version is not a secret, it's the latest version, 45395. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Which file exactly? The exe ? - yes, it is mod off the latest version. The internal memory management is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted April 22, 2021 Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 Did you try to change the Global upload rate to a specific range to see if that changes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefR Posted April 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2021 I've put in a number or two, but have no idea what it should be. I'm apparently only allowed two replies a day on here...so that was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 @PiusX: Upload rate limit is irrelevant to the GUI being frozen. There is a guide in my sig if you have "no idea". I suggest you update with your build #, the results using my flagged exe, and using default settings (or my recommended one). Also, you can upload a dump to here when stuck (using task manager) , and the devs might have a look. Keep in mind that utorrent INTENTIONALLY throttle speed when using uTP. You can disable it in pref.->bittorrent->Enable bandwidth management[uTP] BTW, how many torrents are on your main view list, and how many of them are active?

JosefR Posted April 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 I have no idea because I've used the program for at least a decade with no changes to the stock numbers. I've DL thousands of GBs of files at a time and never had an issue. Never had my bandwidth slowed down so much I can't watch a YT video. Now, I ask about DL one single torrent that is 3.99GB (6 movies in a single torrent) and suddenly it's about filesize? One torrent, that's how many were in my list. It finally finished after restarting it 500 times. I was also waiting to change numbers to see if I find out what the problem is. So the problem is filesize even though I haven't DL anything over 4G. I have no idea what uTP is if I'm using uTorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted April 23, 2021 Report Share Posted April 23, 2021 As to the other poster there is nothing in the signature file posting to tell anyone what it does. Maybe if you put one there one can see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JosefR Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 Ok, I added the settings.dat file and learned what utP is. My normal DL speed is 180MBps, according to speedtest, so the internet says I don't need to disable utP. I looked at your over-provisioning picture and again, have no idea of the significance. I don't know what I'm supposed to get from the since there's no explanation and no reference to "provisioning" in your sig file info. I'll DL a bunch of movies now and see if I still lock up.

JosefR Posted April 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2021 So, as soon as I clicked on my first torrent, utorrent, which was already running in the background with one inactive file, opened like in the picture. All grayed out. I had to make it as small as I possibly could to see the X in the top right corner. This massively large greyed out area feels like it has something to do with the advertising on the program. Problem is, clicking the X doesn't kill whatever it is. I have to shut the whole program down to make this go away. This occurs frequently and I don't know if it has anything to do with the locking up of the program. Also, when I kill utorrent, there's ALWAYS something still running that I have to go to task manager to kill. In this case, it was the gray area which stayed on my screen and when I ended utorrent, the gray area closed. It's probably my settings, huh?

PiusX Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 If you look at my replies there is a signature file at the end of each of the reply...Do you not see it? Does slackware torrents slow or stop? http://www.slackware.com/getslack/torrents.php If the torrents start out high and then starts to drop to kilobytes then you got ISP problems.

JosefR Posted April 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 I did not see your sig, but I wouldn't have clicked on it anyway, because I don't know what slackware is, and I didn't say I had high speed that drops to low speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JosefR Posted April 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Ah, I got the build number wrong, it's 45988. That's one thing and I did answer it. What are all the other things you said I didn't answer? Lots of things. BTW, it's working fine now, but I am not DL any large files, like the 3.99G one that was a problem. Except for that big shadow thing (second instance running in the background) that took up two screens and I couldn't even see the x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
