torrent suddenly stops

[ilovejazzmusic]

i can be downloading a torrent nice and fast, but after a while it suddently stops and i get the "torrent not working" icon - the white X in the red square. if i press "start", the torrent starts downloading again nice and fast, until it just stops once more.

this is not torrent-specific - it has happened to a couple of torrents i've tried to download.

why is this happening? what can i do to stop it happening?

thanks...

red X doesn't mean torrent not working it means an error occurred. If you double click at the top of the column headers, just right of "Status" it will auto-expand to see the full error. What does it say?

[ilovejazzmusic]

"Error: The process cannot access the file because it being used by another process"

what other process? odd...

(thanks for replying, by the way)

In that case you should turn off / disable indexing in your download folder for all search indexers, media indexers, and some resident scanning engines. If that doesn't make any sense to you please look through the How-To, and skip to the part where it asks for HiJackThis or Process Explorer logs.

HJT is relatively simple, do a full scan save the results and copy-paste it below. Process Explorer on the other hands requires some configuration. When you download it as a .zip, open procexp.exe, Ctrl-L, Ctrl-D, click utorrent.exe, Ctrl-A and then copy-paste the log below

Hopefully that should point out immediately what's wrong.

that makes a lot of sense and i've told my google desktop to stop indexing the folder i download into.

thanks so much.
