utorrent freezes & says "not responding"

[bread_huxley]

i was downloading a show & once it got to around 60% i noticed it said "disk overloaded 100"" in the bottom left hand corner. it slowed my download down to a crawl(around 10%) even though my laptop's drive is far from full. i went into the preferences & unclicked everything in the cache. this seemed to work as the "disk overload" thing dissappeard. it even increased my speed. so, all was well until.....

i got around 85% complete & utorrent froze on me while showing "not responding" at the top center. i then closed it & re-opened it but it didn't resume at 85%. it took me back to around 50% & i resumed downloading.

today when i came home from work it was frozen again right around the same place as before(85% downloaded) & i closed it again & it didn't save the full amount downloaded. instead it took me back to around 45-50% downloaded again.

can someone PLEASE tell me what the heck is going on? isn't it supposed to save what has been downloaded if i close it & resume later? why does it keep freezing at the same time? PLEASE HELP, ANYONE.

Get uTorrent v1.8.1 beta and turn off windows caching in uTorrent's advanced, cache settings.

Switeck, thanks for the reply. i was using the 1.8 beta but i uninstalled it & went back to the original 1.8

I unchecked everything in the advanced, cache settings & it did in fact remove the "disk overloaded" problem but i still ran into the "not responding" issue afterwards.

Do you mean that i should tick the 2 at the bottom, "disable windows disk read" & "disable windows disk write"? should that solve this problem of the freeze & whatnot?

thanks again in advance

Yes "disable windows disk read" & "disable windows disk write" SHOULD be checked in your case.

And the latest v1.8.1 beta has the best chance of overcoming your "not responding" issue.
