resume problems... HELP!

How can i shut off Utorrent without having all my downloading torrents "checking" whenever i turn it on again? Obviously i need to do that when i turn off my PC or when there is an unwanted shut off due to electricity problems. I used to right click on tray icon and exit, but it seems that this won't work all the time.

I tried to "pause" each torrent singularly and then exit but this doesn't work. Needless to say, i didn't have such trouble with older versions of Utorrent.

Also, I find it hard to use Utorrent without coming to lose some download when i set the download folder to an external hard disk and the PC crashes. It shows that i have downloaded far inferior stuff in the "done" column, whereas in the "downloaded" area it shows much more (adding what was the amount before the crash). I checked it when the file was more than 100% downloaded and it couldn't open unless there was 100% downloaded in the "done" column. This means that i simply lost what was downloaded before the crash, but my ratio on the host site was seriously harmed (it showed that i downloaded the same torrent more than 1 time). So i figure it is not advisable to download to an external hard disk. Any suggestion beside not to use the external disk?

any replies are welcome, thanks for them in advance.

The re-check due to a non-graceful shutdown is NOT recommended to be skipped.

Enable bt.graceful_shutdown in the advanced preferences to prevent issues during attempts at graceful shutdowns.

For the non-graceful shutdowns, try to solve the actual issues that are causing them.
