Miffo Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Its an error that that shouldnt be. If utorrent could just handle external file access properly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkman Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Just disable diskio.flush_files if you have this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evildrx Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 I have set diskio.flush_files to *false, and I don't have Google desktop. I tried a previous version of µtorrent and still got the same error. Has anyone figured out another fix to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 26, 2005 Report Share Posted November 26, 2005 Maybe it's your antivirus trying to scan the files while it's downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroc Posted November 27, 2005 Report Share Posted November 27, 2005 These are some things that might be causing problems for those still having problems:Do u have a defrag app with a set it n forget it/automatic defrag option?Look in scheduled task in Win OS's to see what task are running or set to run.Disable A/V and see if that helps (I know.....some have already mentioned that)it might be a Windows service causing the problem. Dont know where to begin to tell u what to look for, tho. If curious, look here:http://www.theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htmMight be something in the Folders View option. Go to start/settings/control panel and click on Folder Options. Again, not sure what to look for. But one thing to try is "show hidden files and folders", since the C:\Documents and Settings\*ur username*\Application Data folder (which has uT settings folder in it) is hidden by defaultTry an older version of uT. if it works when u do that, its some setting thats gotta be changed in the newer version.Check ur anti-spyware appz for any real-time protection. It might cause problems like the anti-virus appz w/real-time scanning.Go to start/programs/startup and see whats set to startup automatically everytime u start Windowstry right clicking on the folder the file is in, go to properties, customize. Where it says" What kind of folder u want?" set it to Documents.try this too: http://ask.metafilter.com/mefi/17764For those using XP Pro, Win2K or WinServer Os's, its not so file-sharing friendly as XP Home. Changing some settings might solve the problem. Its some app or service that casuing the problem. Pinpointing the cause is the hardest part. Think of ANY app or service that might need to access or update your folders. Or think of ANY app or service u have set to do an automatic job. Task Scheduler, for some insane reason, sets certain tasks to run automatically without our knowledge. *All of this is assuming u use a Win OS.Ok. Im done. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rseiler Posted November 30, 2005 Report Share Posted November 30, 2005 Wow, I just experienced this once last night (can't figure out why that time is different than any other since all pertinent aspects that I can figure are unchanged) and came here to look to see if anyone else has experienced it. Looks like they have.I read through the thread with increasing amusement, figuring that surely over this much time someone would come to a conclusion and real solution, but alas no. I guess I'll disable disable diskio.flush now, even though that's not a sure solution.Here's hoping that the next version of utorrent is robust in this area. It shouldn't be this sensitive. Never once, over a much longer period of time, have I seen such a thing happen with AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapscallion Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I've been fighting with this one for the last week, and I may have come across something that may help in resolving the issue. (Although i'm not sure what to do with the info myself).I finally found a little util (File Monitor) and ran it while DLing my torrent and found that explorer.exe queries utorrent.exe at the exact time the DL stops and gives the "Process in use.." error. I have tested this quite a number of times and this is consistantly the point in which it stops. I have attached the part of the log that pertains to this. Hopefully this will help, and if not... well... ummm... errr... I hope you have enjoyed reading yet another useless post.explorer.exe:1524 QUERY INFORMATION D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Attributes: A explorer.exe:1524 OPEN D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Options: Open Access: Execute explorer.exe:1524 QUERY INFORMATION D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Length: 109568 explorer.exe:1524 CLOSE D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS explorer.exe:1524 QUERY INFORMATION D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Attributes: A explorer.exe:1524 OPEN D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Options: Open Access: Execute explorer.exe:1524 QUERY INFORMATION D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Length: 109568 explorer.exe:1524 CLOSE D:\Apps\Utorrent\utorrent.exe SUCCESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drozzy Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 PLEASE, Sticky this.It took me 2 weeks to figure out the problem.Google destop + uTorrent was my cause! (I had no problems getting rid of google desktop, because I only used it to check my email.

Sorry.I would never have thought to look there.

Firon Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 I updated it again. I put both this time (since both errors have similar fixes I think...)And don't worry about not seeing it, I only added it to the FAQ like 2-3 days ago.

sabman Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 I furst started facing this problem with Azureus. And yes, it did seem to start after having installed Google Desktop. That is when i shifted to Utorrent and it was running fine for 2 days before it started showing the same error. So its not just with Utorrent.Can someone tell me where i can find the deskio flush files ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenco Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 tried all of the above hints - no AV indexing diskeeper GD and no DHT - but still getting the message - Since altering deskio flush setting - Jibba was right - keep hitting start - it only asks for a recheck occasionally - I am getting the torrent to continue - BUT the automated process has crumbled into manual operation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenco Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 Thankyou Firon for directing me to the faq item - I am most impressed at the prompt response one gets here yes I had tried all of this - however I have noticed that this torrent ( 900 meg mp3 and jpg) has 3 particular pieces that figure everytime the force check is required - these three pieces give hash errors and never seem to complete (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#I_get_tons_of_hashfails_on_my_torrents_and_the_torrent_never_finishesIs this what happens?And were you ever able to get rid of "error:the process cannot access the file"? You may want to try installing Unlocker, and trying to unlock the files (select, right click -> Unlocker, you can select directories and multiple files) so you can see WHAT process is locking them.

thenco Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 no mate - dmz isnt on - thanks for the suggestion The locking is transitory and when I run the unlocker - the lock is already cleared (if there was one?)- BUThaving nothing to lose - I d/l latest beta - it is better (excuse pun)it is still having the pauses - but the difficult pieces have come down and its a much longer time between restartsupdate now the difficult 3 pieces have passed - no more pauses - touch woodI dunno what you changed but thanks - it is deffo for the greater good Johnno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 So, if you select all the folders for the torrents you're running and try the Unlocker, it says there's no file lock? :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenco Posted January 1, 2006 Report Share Posted January 1, 2006 FironYesProblem been happening for a week - was being bloody minded and only running the one torent to the one directory - which is what unlocker showed - just the one process user for the filesAs above - your new beta rocks Johnno - happy camper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCoolGamer Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I have also this problem. I have no AntiVirus (i know it is bad). No Google desktop, etc. I have checked for spyware. Disabled Flush files. Also tried Unlocker, but it cannot find any programs that have some files opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gg Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have Google Desktop as well while getting the "Error:the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" error. Also, an search using Google Desktop, does show that that the newly created file from µTorrent has been indexed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
