perrymanku Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hi,In utorrent sometimes when i am d/l or upload and exit and go back in it comes up with the speed guide window and deletes the torrents. I have set a port and told utorrent not to randomize. Any ideas why this happens ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Severe computer crashes?Virus activity?Limited user rights?CleanSlate running? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perrymanku Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 no computer crashes, mcafee is running but i have allowed utorrent. how do you mean limited user rights. no clenaslate.Basically i start torrents to d/l then when i shut down the PC totally and switch on again and start utorrent it has no torrents in list and the soeed guide comes up with a total random port number. This never happened with older vesrsions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I think µTorrent requires either power user or administrator settings, unless run from a couple user-specific folders.It definitely sounds like trouble...Have you tried HijackThis! or Process Explorer?I'm still convinced it's something weird wrong with your system.

perrymanku Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 how do i set power user or admin settings. My system seems fine what will hijack this or process explorer tell me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 I forget about how to make sure you're running as a power user or administrator...but you better read alot before you do it.It will tell you what programs and DLLs are both running in the background and load on boot-up.Classic antivirus software misses too much nowadays to be trusted.

Carshumptidu Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 can you stop telling him he has a virus and explain the admin settings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 I don't know how atm.Thanks for saving me the trouble of looking it up...the floor's all yours.You can start with this link for Win XP's administrator mode if you really are interested in helping out:http://www.google.com/search?q=Win+XP+administrator+mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alzee77 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I have exactly the same trouble with my uTorrent 1.7.5. Everytime the program is shutdown and/or when the PC is shutdown, when I reboot and start uTorrent, everything has vanished from the list, the seeded files are gone, the leeching files are gone.I seen to have no trouble with viruses, but I don't know too much about that issue.The previous version of uTorrent (whatever it was) that I used, never gave any trouble like this.So, unless we have the same virus and we are both unaware of it lurking somewhere, then uTorrent has a problem.

Switeck Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 I don't expect a virus actually, I expect commercial software from big names like Norton, McAfee, Zone Alarm...are causing these crashes.Can you run HijackThis! (a 3rd party program, found using GOOGLE) and post the logfile it creates?That should list most of the "secret stuff" on your computer that loads on boot-up and is currently running in memory (2 separate lists in the same logfile).Chances are, other people here who look at those logs regularly can find programs known to be hostile to µTorrent.

perrymanku Posted October 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 Well I have just rebuilt my PC and it is still doing it. Also anyone know how to tweak settings so everything else does not run slowly on PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I do, I run Speed Guide (CTRL+G) and turn off most of µTorrent's optional features.I actually tweak the number of connections DOWN from what Speed Guide recommends instead of up.Here's the troubleshooting guide:http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=15992 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
