hh Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 On startup uTorrent checks the integrity of all incomplete torrents. When I have 3 or 4 incomplete torrents, each ~700MB, this takes upwards of 10 minutes and uses 100% CPU, during which time the rest of the computer is very sluggish even to the point of a jerky mouse cursor.Is there any way to fix this or do I just have to beg for a faster checksum algorithm in the next version? Even if it can't be made faster could it at least be set to run at a lower priority in the background so other processes aren't obliterated.Many thanks for your helpHenry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICleolion Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I havent seen UTorrent use more than 20% CPU when rechecking torrents.Have you tried just rechecking one torrent at a time to see if that helps. You running the latest beta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm running 1.3 at the moment, but I will try the latest beta.The context menu item for "Force Recheck" is greyed out, is there another way to force a recheck without restarting the program?

Ghost21 Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Running and paused torrents can't be rechecked. You need to stop those torrents first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hh Posted January 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Thanks - Using the beta version now, it still takes a while and uses 100% CPU for a forced recheck, but the rest of the system responds quickly during the check so it doesn't really matter. And it's not checking every file on startup any more.I appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
