davidt18 Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have noticed and a few versions now including the most recent v1.3 build 364 that on my computer if I leave utorrent running for a while when I am uploading to others and I have the upload rate set to 0 for the unlimited that my utorrent spikes my cpu from 50-90% but when I limit my upload speed it doesn't spike like that. On my current torrent that I am seeding for an example I was uploading between 35-45k and it was doing that but when I limited to upload only at 15k it wasn't spiking. I have kav2006 internet security but I have that on turned off so I don't think thats interfering. Sometimes I have to exit utorrent and restart my computer to fix it but if I leave it running it starts to spike. Could someone else help me on what may be the problem or if others have noticed the same problem thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firon Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Try uninstalling your anti-virus/firewall. If it helps, then there's a problem with it. Disabling it usually doesn't help.Also, if it has any "worm shield" or "P2P shield", turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidt18 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 I have windows xp no service packed. I also have 933meghz p3 with 512megs of ram. But thing is, I don't think the other programs running have anything to do with it. Like I said when I first run utorrent its fine its just when its been running for a long while is when it starts to run funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Can you try what I said? Firewalls and anti-viruses often cause problems, especially with P2P apps. For example, the NVidia firewall would leak and use up all your system's ram, eventually causing an entire system crash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidt18 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Well I didn't want to uninstall it just yet so I exited it completely so its not running at all in the task manager and it didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Try uninstalling it later then. And reboot after doing so, of course.Is KAV2006 a firewall or an anti-virus? (or both?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidt18 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Its both the internet security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Well, it honestly sounds like there's some kind of software conflict on your system, which is why I'm asking for you to just -try- uninstalling it to see if it goes away. It's also possible that it's a driver issue. Do you have the latest drivers for your NIC or motherboard chipset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidt18 Posted December 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 As far as I know I do have the latest drivers for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoochieMamma Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I have the beta of 2006 KAV (you have the beta of KIS) and there is a problem with it. It doesn't like a lot of connections going to and from the system, alot of people have similar problems with other P2P programs (like emule). Look at the forums of kaspersky and see.

Firon Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Well, there's your answer, uninstall KAV20006, davidt18. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilmoregirls Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 I found my utorrent is spiking too, CPU sometimes goes up to 100% a while after starting utorrent. This didn't happen before, but with the latest version 1.3 it seems too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1c3d0g Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 It's probably due to the Unicode support that was added. :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilmoregirls Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 This is how it looks on my computer, I wonder why it's spiking with a certain frequency?Frequency is 30 seconds which is when utorrents empties cache and writes it to disk.Hmmm. mystery solved, but problem is with audio and video playback that suffers in those disk writes. Smaller cache is better? I use 32768. Then I tried -1 and the high spikes dissapear and are replaced with smaller spikes every 3-5 seconds. Still messes with audio though.

Firon Posted December 19, 2005 Report Share Posted December 19, 2005 Make sure your drive is in DMA mode. And if you have KAV2006, dump it. If you use Avast, turn off the P2P shield. Or any other anti-virus that has a P2P or worm shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
