KingZee Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I've recently noticed that when uTorrent has been running for at least 1 night the memory usage becomes extremely high. If I close uTorrent and open it back up it starts at a low ~6MB but will grow to over 1GB over night. Any Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Is it the µTorrent process's memory usage that bloats that much? Or is it just that you seem to be missing 1GB of RAM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingZee Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 no, it's specifically uTorrent's memory usage, I just restarted or I would post a screen shot. Btw, I'm on version 1.8.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 So you see utorrent.exe using that much memory in the processes tab?Do you use the NVIDIA firewall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protke Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Having the same problem here, there seems to be some kind of memory leak involved, since the uTorrent with or without downloads starts consuming more and more RAM (a few K every few seconds, along with some proc time, checked via process explorer) leading to system clog. No nVidia fwall here, but out of resident possible problem causers: Apache server, SQL server, SpyBot TeaTimer, NOD32 and SnagIt. Hope u resolve this soon.Edit: managed to NOT SEE the nVidia fwall among the bunch of useless progs installed on this machine, sorry for the false alarm, thanx for the solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingZee Posted January 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 I have the firewall installed but it's not running, can that still cause the same issue when it's not running at all? I've never actually used the firewall, when it was running before it was disabled but I closed it after reading about memory leak issues somewhere else.

DreadWingKnight Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yes it can cause problems just being installed.the only way to stop its problems is to uninstall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingZee Posted January 18, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 just to update anyone also having this issue. I uninstalled the nvidia firewall and the problem is fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
