uTorrent freezing computer

Hi I've been using uTorrent for a year or so now, and never had any problems up until the last 2 months or so. Now whenever I start uTorrent up it freezes my computer within 20 minutes or so, and the only way out is to turn the power off and back on again (CTRL+ALT+DEL has no effect); I usually also lose all my torrents from the list when it freezes.

I haven't changed anything or got any new programs over the last few months, it just started freezing when I updated to v1.8. I uninstalled 1.8 and cleared out all cached files etc and went back to 1.7.7, which worked fo a day or so, then it started freezing again (have since gone back to current version in hope will work properly).

Ok. I've uninstalled the Rising (RStray) program and completely removed it from the puter, as well as updating to 1.8.1.

It seemed to be working fine after rebooting, but 40 mins or so after starting uTorrent it has just frozen again. I just rebooted, found that this time it has left all the torrents in the file, and a minute later it has crashed again.

I've got broadband ethernet connection.

Mmmmh, your log seems to be clear.

Anyway I saw 2 potential causes:

O3 - Toolbar: Yahoo!7 Toolbar

O3 - Toolbar: AVG Security Toolbar

Try to remove Yahoo! toolbar (it has an internal security module) and configure this one of AVG.

Your issue can be clearly related to AVG and its settings.

Posted

As I said above, this is a desktop rather than portable computer, so aren't using wifi.

I uninstalled the Yahoo toolbar, tweaked AVG's settings and rebooted, hoping everything would be fined...started utorrent and it froze up after 7 minutes.

The only other thing I can say is that I have notuced that more often than not, as soon as I start utorrent I get a loud humming noise that doesn't appear if utorrent isn't on. I got a techie mate to check thru all the hardware for me and he said nothing is amiss though, as as I haven't added / changed anything since I got the computer a year or so ago, I can't see what the ptroblem would be.

Posted

Humming noise, the hard drive? Fans going into overdrive because of overheating? SpeedFan might help, as well as watching disk statistics in µT.

Posted

Tried all that and uTorrent is still freezing everything.

Only other thing i can think of is that when I re-did the speed test yesterday, one of the tests said that there was evidence of ISP upload compression.

Would that make any difference?

Posted

ISP "compression" is a way to advertise faster BURST speeds as opposed to throughput. That's why sustained numbers are important to uT. Does this problem take longer with a lowering of the up or down limits? Are you overriding any Ctrl-P > Advanced > Disk Cache options?

I REALLY was hoping those injected DLLs was the problem :(

Posted

Disabled windows caching of disk writes but everything else is default settings.

I also set net.max halp open to 3 after reading what was said on one of the other comments.

Actually, I've had slightly longer periods before freezing today and yesterday, up to an hour or so before it dies now, so some of your ideas seem to have helped a little.

Posted

And maybe update to SP3, it's supposed to improve performance :P

Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Event Viewer > System. You can poke through it yourself or right-click, save, mediafire it. Looking mostly for Event 4226's and any item with ATAPI in it (I think ATAPI is the category).

Posted

OK, did that and found plenty of TCP/IP event 4226 for past few weeks. When I checked it out, they were all for uTorrent. :(

The prob there is that the: TCP/IP has reached the security limit imposed on the number of concurrent TCP connect attempts.

Any idea on how I deal with that?

Posted

I only set to less than 8 on Thursday, so no, most of the recent messages were when still set at 8.

Is now set at 3, but it is still freezing every hour or so.
