Lord KiRon Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 To reproduce the bug do the following :- Force recheck on one of the big torrents that was partly downloaded (let's say 7GB or 12GB already downloaded).-While some other torrent(s) download (actually receiving packets,the more the easier to reproduce - not just download state).This will result in recheck "freeze" in the middle of rechecking (in several attempts I made it frozen at 20% , 46% , 52% so no rule).The second part of this bug is that if you "stop" the torrent with frozen recheck and use "force recheck" again - the torrent GUI will freeze and the only way to exit is to kill the uTorrent app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csulok Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 is there a workaround to this problem?i've tried 'not receiving packets' while hashing in hundreds of gbs of stuff but it still freezed every time at a random % in the first torrent of the recheck queue.

Switeck Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Are the torrents on the same (overworked?) hard drive?Is the torrent being checked on drive C: ...possibly causing even the Windows OS some halting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csulok Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 no, the torrents are on a separate partition and hdd and its only being used for seeding so its only as much overworked as utorrent makes it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord KiRon Posted March 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 The workaround is simple - stop the download before rechecking.Btw: For me also the torrents were not on C:. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeRed Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 When the recheck freezes, does it also stop downloading? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csulok Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 yes, 0% cpu usage, no disk operations, no network usage just frozen gui waiting to be killed.also it doesnt only 'trigger' on forced recheck but when adding torrents that need 'not forced' checking previously incompleted files.

Switeck Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Almost sounds like a USB external drive bottleneck.Can you check your IDE controllers in Windows Device Manager (under System in Control Panel) to see if your hard drive/s have reverted to the VERY slow PIO modes?

csulok Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 they are all in udma5, and even though i have an usb external drive, my torrents arent stored on it, but a single 250gb seagate drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Then it seems like your cpu is too slow for the task.That probably isn't the case, so a more likely explanation is an antivirus program that is trying to read/verify the data at the same time as the data is being rechecked by µTorrent.

csulok Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 my cpu is a core2 duo e6700 so yes that cant be the case.the antivirus program however sounds interesting because in another forumthread of this forum board someone mentioned spyware doctor 5.0 having issues with certain softwares because of some gui problems..i dont use spyware doctor but i use avast antivirus ( and no spyware or firewall software ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notdeadyet Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 my "rechecking" loses downloaded pacs eventhough no info is lost in download file. but download bans act as if information is lost. Band loss is only regained by downloading rest of file. Still learning the lingo thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
