Pillowcase Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Whenever I close and reopen μTorrent the program acts as if it was shut down unexpectedly and starts rechecking all my torrents. This would not be such a big concern if this only took a minute or two, but because some of my torrents are large (around 50 GB) it takes more than 20 minutes just to finish checking them.

jewelisheaven Posted December 6, 2007 Report Share Posted December 6, 2007 Upon shutdown all non-stopped torrents are rechecked.All paused torrents resume downloading.Fix: Stop all torrents before closing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillowcase Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Thanks Firon that did the trick...it's a little slow shutting down though. Shouldn't something like that be on by default? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 The default is off, which waits 10 seconds... that's enough for normal users without alot of torrents/tracker updates/stopping/etc to do... apparently you're not normal btw, how many torrents are you running? with ~ 5 / 2000 it takes about a minute to close.

Pillowcase Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Erk...now the thing won't shut off properly o.O I closed the program more than 5 minutes ago and the process is still running. What exactly is it doing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I don't know? I'd recommend getting Sysinternals "Process Explorer" http://www.sysinternals.com No don't worry if you're redirected to microsoft. They got bought out a bit ago. And M. Russinovich works on Security (afaicr). When you download, unzip, and open it, you'll want to double click on the utorrent process. Switching to the threads tab and posting a screenshot might help (or it might not).Also if you click in the lower pane and switch to Handle mode (Ctrl-H0 from DLL mode (Ctrl-D) and sort by "File Share Flags" (you will need to right click on the column headers and enable it) you can see what is being opened/read/closed ...Truly uT should close within a minute as long as you can communicate with all trackers (I'm not sure what it does with a "connection refused" tracker...) and write the data to disk.Have you changed any settings under Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> Disk Cache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 It can take a long time to shutdown, especially with a large cache + slow disks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillowcase Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ok it turned off while I was doing all that...maybe my torrents are just a bit big or something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
