neosatus Posted July 30, 2007 Report Share Posted July 30, 2007 Hi, ever since installing 1.7.2 from 1.7.1 µTorrent is using 50-60% of my cpu bringing my use of all other applications to a slow crawl. I did a little searching around for threads of a similar situation but didn't find any. Other than that everything else is fine, connection, DHT, speed's normal etc. Is anyone experiencing this at all? I know it will asked if i use a AV/Firewall and I do, NOD32, but have never had issues with it and I already tried turning it off and the problem persists...until i turn µTorrent off that is, and then cpu is back down to under 5% which is where it usually is even running all other previous versions of µ.Thanks in advance for any advice/info.

Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hm. Get Process Explorer from sysinternals.com, run it, File > Save, then post the contents of the saved process list in the .txt file here.And for NOD32, try putting µTorrent in the exception list for IMON, or at least try disabling IMON.

neosatus Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Actually I did disable IMON before I tried disabling NOD altogether and haven't re-enabled it yet, or even had NOD running since. I wanted to isolate that variable as I try to find cause of the problem as removing NOD as a factor didn't have any effect.Thanks for the suggestion--I'll try doing that later tonight.

Ultima Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Probably a better way to isolate yourself is to uninstall NOD32 (temporarily), as it may leave system hooks behind even if it isn't running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 It might very well be some specific mix of hardware/software on neosatus' machine that could be causing NOD32 to mess up uTorrent, but I'd just like to say that NOD32 has never affected uTorrent on my machine ever.
