Fix for 1.4 I get "Error: Access Denied" / "Error: The process cannot

[magicjammies]

I got This error when trying to upload a torrent : 1.4 I get "Error: Access Denied" / "Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and µTorrent halts the torrent! (Google/MSN Desktop, possibly some anti-virus software, Explorer's thumbnail view, may not be any of the above)

Someone suggested to go into the peferences within Utorrent to the advanced tab and set the value of the diskio.flush_files to false and soo far it worked TY for the info and I hope this can help others

We don't support 1.4 anymore.

We support 1.6

DreadWingKnight, he doesn't mean µTorrent 1.4, but 1.4 in the FAQ.

I found that if I quit the following 3 processes in Windows Task Manager, that the error stopped occurring, and the CPU performance stayed stable while uploading/downloading.

RoxMediaDB.exe

RoxWatch.exe

RoxWatchTray.exe

RoxMediaDB and RoxWatch will automatically restart themselves if killed, so suggest you hit RoxWatchTray.exe first.

There are a variety of processes that does this -- mostly indexing services. And yes, Roxio's media database/indexing services have been previously determined to cause this issue as well, though it's not the only other culprit.

ok i noticed sumthn... i can download individual files but not folders. for instance, i can download a .zip, .rar, or .avi file, but wen its a torrent of a folder of files (lets say a bunch of rars), then it will come up wit this access denied error. does this help anyone to figure out wats goin on wit this problem?

No thread hijacking

A little late, but doesn't Roxio have a list of folders not to watch/index?

Most of these indexing services do, actually
