axeaxeaxe Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 I don't understand, I hope anyone can help me. I haven't had this problem so far and I'm using utorrent for quite some years. I first experienced it this week with version 1.7.5 so I downloaded the newest version. Same problem. Then I deleted everyting, my running torrents, utorrent everything and installed a clean 1.7.7. But the problem still remains. It seems like when utorrent is closed, it doesn't close properly. So when it's started again it is going to check everything because it looked like a crash for him. Sometimes I get windows-messages when shutting down the computer. The message is that utorrent isn't closed yet and windows is killing it for you.Some more info: even when there is nothing downloaded for a torrent, he is still checking it. But some files he doesn't check at all. I can't find the difference yet between the checked files and the unchecked ones...Thanks for your help.

Ultima Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Can you try setting bt.graceful_shutdown to true in Preferences > Advanced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 All active torrents are rechecked when uT closes improperly. Have you tried Ctrl-P -> Advanced -> bt.graceful_shutdown = TRUE ? It will cause uT to not close after the OS default 10 seconds however it will stay IN MEMORY until it does close. How long does it take uT to close? Are you running any http://utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_software ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pushkin Posted April 2, 2008 Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 Hello,I'm having the same re-checking of files problem as the user above, as well as my cpu maxing out on hardware interrupts once it starts re-checking. I've done the steps advised but to no avail. Anyone have any other ideas?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 There is a mention of this in the FAQ http://utorrent.com/faq.php#My.C2.B5Torrent_freezes_locks_up_sometimes_and_or_uses_100_CPU ...Setting graceful_shutdown TRUE doesn't solve the rechecking?? That means some external program is mucking with uT's open files. You can check this manually through Process Explorer... or consider that indexers (search and media) as well as some media library software is not nice. Additionally you can check the http://utorrent.com/faq.php#Incompatible_software list, or the updated list available in Ultima's 1.8 User Manual.

Firon Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 At this point, you have to wait for them all to recheck once you enable that option.And make sure your IDE/SATA controller hasn't reverted back to PIO transfer mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
khasscorpio Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 and how to check that sata/IDE controller reverted back to PIO transfer mode or not?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 Device Manager (Start->Run->devmgmt.msc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pushkin Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Thanks for the tip guys, while chasing up another problem I've had since a recent crash (very high hardware interrupts) I discovered that IDE controller had reverted to PIO mode. Once that was changed and a reboot done the files all checked through once. Bingo.As a matter of interest, does anybody know offhand how that IDE controller setting is commonly changed ? or why ?Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 5, 2008 Report Share Posted April 5, 2008 Perhaps dying hardware. Run some sort of consistency check on the hard drive :/ How old is it? If it's covered under warranty still you may want to check the MFG support site for test tools and then sign up for RMA to get it fixed/replaced.

Ultima Posted April 6, 2008 Report Share Posted April 6, 2008 The IDE controller reverts to PIO mode after 6 errors on the device, as per a (I guess) safety feature of some sort in XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
