martix Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I had a torrent that was red or something, so I decided to restart uT to make it green again. At that time I had 3 very big downloads running. When I started the program again the red torrent got fine and all of my downloads decided they need to be rechecked. Its been going for half an hour by now and by the rate I'm seeing its going to continue at least for 2-3 hours more!!! Why so SLOW?Thats just stupid. And it isn't the first time either!uTorrent may be small and stuff and for a time there I really believed it had potential. But its beggining to show too much of these small faults and this is proving lethal. Bah, at some point I really thought there was something to it. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 It can take a bit longer to close, but it'll ensure that it closes properly to prevent rechecks on your next startup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martix Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 I see... You know even with that set to false I waited for the process to dissapear to start it again. If its causing so much trouble why isn't this setting on by default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Because it can potentially cause the application to take several *minutes* to exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost1220 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Would this setting have any effect on already completed torrents? I'm seeding completed torrents from a mapped network share, and have utorrent set to start automatically at login. I'm not certain if it is checking for the presence of files before the mapped drives are available or what, but even once everything is available utorrent insists that I must recheck the files from the mapped drives. I'm not looking forward to rechecking 650GB of data that I know hasn't changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 From my understanding of it, no, it really shouldn't affect already completed torrents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lost1220 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 well, I feel sheepish now. After a few minutes, I was able to restart the torrents without rechecking. Thank goodness. Apparently uTorrent wasn't yet aware that the network drives were available when I tried restarting them the first few times. Odd, but I'm just glad a recheck isn't necessary.
