utorrent-1.8-alpha-6415.uncompressed.exe

This version of Utorrent (UT) has a bug:

------------------------------

Symptom:

Make windows explorer (explorer.exe) run many instances - I found this when I use Task Manager to view the processes.

Explorer.exe can NOT be ended process, and we could run any other process everytime I use this version of UT

------------------------------

I switch back to UT v1.7.5 and everything is now OK. I think this new version as a bug which cause memory leak.

Please consider this bug.

Not that opening extra instances of Explorer is a memory leak to begin with... I just tested, and could not get µTorrent to open a second instance of Explorer without enabling Tools > Folder Options > View > "Launch folder windows in a separate process" from whatever Explorer window you've got open. If you've got that option enabled, and µTorrent wasn't opening folders in a new process, then that should be a bug with the old version, since it wouldn't have been respecting a Windows global setting.
