When i start utorrent system process stays at 100%


algo

Recommended Posts

Hi all, I have using utorrent for a long time now, it has never give me major problems. Except for today. Staring utorrent is causing the process named "system" to be at 100%. If I close utorrent system goes to 0% if I start it again it goes back to 100%.

Any ideas of how to fix it?

I'm running XP sp2 with all the updates, and the latest version of utorrent (the one after the "beta 2")

Thanks

Have your hard drives lapsed into PIO mode?

I don't know how to check this =(

What software firewall do you have installed?

I have Peer Guardian 2 and windows firewall

What antivirus do you have installed?

NOD32

I'm not running utorrent now, I don't know what influence it has over this settings, but currently they are:

Device Type Auto Detection

Transfer Mode: DMA if Avaiable

Current Transfer Mode: Ultra DMA Mode 2

Device 1:

Device Type Auto Detection

Transfer Mode: DMA if Avaiable

Current Transfer Mode: Multi-Word DMA Mode 2

AS for NOD32 I've disabled imon - although i've always have it on with no problems before. I'll test utorrent in a few time and post back the resuit.

Also, I don't know if it as anything to do with this, but before I leave home I turned off the computer using the option to install windows updates and then shutdown.

When I got home the computer was on, like if it had restarted, my mom told me noone had been near the computer while i was gone. I don't know why he rebooted instead of just shuting down, but after this utorrent start giving this problem.

I've disable imon with no results, also have done a system restore to a time before the updates a the problem persists

What do you have net.max_halfopen set to?

I've never changed the advanced settings so it's on default

Have you ever patched TCPIP.sys?

If you are talking about the 10 connections limitation I rembemer downlaoding a dos utility, i think it was the only that existed at the time. I don't remember if I actually installed it.

But why would this cause me problems only now?

EDIT:

I've noticed seven *.dmp files in utorrent folder, has this anything to do with the problem?

EDIT2:

This is strange, but as it seems I have to wait almost 22 minutes until utorrent finishes whatever it is doing and stops using 100% of cpu.

Now the computer is fine, and task manager is showing:

utorrent.exe cputime: 10:48

system cputime: 10:56

As it seems I don't have a problem after all, maybe utorrent was checking the torrents?

Anyways thanks for everybody help and time =)

Patience is a virtue after all, guess utorrent was trying to teach me that :)
