Shock Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 I keep getting this error message: "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process."I've tried EVERYTHING on the FAQ about this, so, please don't link me there. This has only happened with two torrents so far. Is there a chance that the torrent is corrupt, maybe?Any help is appreciated.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted April 27, 2007 Report Share Posted April 27, 2007 What kinds of files were stored in the torrents? Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, run it, File > Save, then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AceXMachine Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I can almost promise you that you have another p2p prog that is sharing the same folder you are trying to download the torrent. That was what was happening to me...closed the p2p app, no more 'file in use by another process' errors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonahb2007 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 i'm getting the same error and it's on all different kinds of file types, mp3s avi's you name it, it seems to be completely random though as i'll download one torrent just fine and download the next one till like 3% and then it hits me with that error, and i don' have any other p2p programs, at all... this is it, so it can't be a conflicting program. Also i'm on vista home premium and i recently had to do a full reinstall, i had this program on the old install and everything worked great, don't know why it's doing this now i'd really appreciate the help!

silverzbrian Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 I am running vista ultimate 64, and I am having the exact same random error message. I can download some fine, and others about 3% it errors out. I did have bit tornado on here before, but I have gotten rid of that, and even reinstalled utorrent. Same error. Do you have nvidia graphics? Almost every problem I have had with vista has been traced back to my driver for my 7950 card. Anyway just something else to look into!!

georule Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yes, I run Vista Ultimate 32 and have the same issue, and have ever since I went to Vista in mid-February. It's pretty darn annoying, and it's nice to find it's not just me after all. I do have an Nvidia video card, but I find it unlikely (but not impossible, I suppose) to be related.

Lord Alderaan Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Did anyone here listen to Ultima?For these kind of problems we can't help at all unless we get to see Process Explorer exports. It's most likely a 3rd party app and with that list at least we can make guesses at which one it is and suggest ways to find out for sure and/or solve the problem.

georule Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Yeah, well personally I'm an idiot. I read the FAQ, saw "google desktop", went "Ooh, right, I started using google desktop at the same time I started using Vista", turned that off, and presto, no more problem.Sorry for adding to the noise rather than the signal.

Switeck Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 It isn't totally noise...it tells us that Google Desktop can be considered HOSTILE as far as µTorrent is concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 Most file indexing services/softwares (or most softwares that constantly check newly-modified files) can cause this problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaz Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Add Roxio Media Manager 9 to the sh*t list. I had the same issue as poster. I downloaded Microsoft Process Explorerhttp://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspxI searched by the name of the file I was downloading(mp3) .. There it was RoxMediaDB9.exe Killed the process, viola no more problems. What's really bad is there is no program group to admin whatever this program is supposed to do, just a systray icon that returns runtime C++ errors if you fiddle with it.I have Dell Dimension 9200(May 2007) Vista Home Premium, roxio came bundled with the new box.

Ultima Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Yep, it's a media indexer, and was recognized as a troublemaker a while back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howlie Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Disable your antivirus' real time scanning or totally until the torrent is finished downloading. You can also start the real time scanning after the torrent has started downloading. Also any Indexing program like google desktop will cause this problem. You can simply stop the indexing temporarily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Stopping them temporarily doesn't help if you actually want to be able to use µTorrent. Unless you feel like stopping them "temporarily" every time you're downloading something µTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirsox23 Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Windows Media Connect for your xbox 360 has the same problem... You can't have the file your downloads enter in the same file you share... Although sometimes if they are in the same file it will work most of the time it wont.
