bt.graceful_shutdown and encapsulated new install

[ady4um]

I checked the following procedure several times with several ut builds.

1-Create empty settings.dat file for new encapsulated ut install, in a new empty folder (where I have writing rights).

2-Download utorrent.exe and save it in the same new folder where the new empty settings.dat was created.

3-Start ut, configure it as I intend to use it, including setting bt.graceful_shutdown as true.

4-Only after configuring every aspect of ut, I add new torrents.

5-Open Task Manager

6-Several hours later, while having active torrent(s), I exit utorrent normally (meaning, not forcing it's exit).

Ut exits and almost immediately it disappears from Task manager.

7-Every time ut exits I check it in an already-opened Task Manager window, and every time I see the same immediate response.

It seems this should be the expected situation, but I know from previous experience that when using bt.graceful_shutdown, ut takes several "extra" seconds to disappear from Task Manager. That would be the expected behaviour.

So while using ut again for several hours, I change bt.graceful_shutdown to false, as originally default. Again, same immediate response when exiting ut (as it should be with bt.graceful_shutdown set as false).

After several days using ut, I change again bt.graceful_shutdown setting to "true". Now when I exit ut, I can see it in Task Manager for several seconds after exiting. Just coincidence?

As I said, I checked this procedure with several versions, including 1.8.2.

Maybe, Is there any problem setting preferences before actually using active torrents? Any clues? A Bug?

Thank you in advance.

There is no guarantee as to how long µTorrent will take to shutdown. Sometimes, if you're lucky, it exits quickly because everything is responsive (disk, trackers, etc). Sometimes (usually), there will be delays, which translates into slowed shutdowns.

graceful_shutdown takes longer to ensure it's actually shutting down properly. Announcing stop to all trackers, flushing necessary data to disk...

Thank you Ultima and Firon. I wasn't pretending to know how much time ut takes to exit. I don't have a problem with it.

I'm talking about what is happening when using bt.graceful_shutdown right from the beginning.

It seems that bt.graceful_shutdown is not really "true" when setting it right from the start.

Of course, it could be possible for ut to exit immediately even with bt.graceful_shutdown set to "true", but after setting it to "false", then exiting, and after setting it again to "true", the time to exit *is* longer almost always.

So, you see, I'm talking about saving "preferences" (and maybe some bug?) , not about the specific (more, or less) time to exit.

Could anyone reproduce this behavior?
