crescent Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hi, I have had really bad experiences with uTorrent freezing up Leopard completely for almost 20 minutes. Tomato torrent worked fine until I decided to give uTorrent a try. When I first used uTorrent, everything went well, but things got progressively worse. Data began to be written to the hard drive sporadically. Apps began freezing. uTorrent took longer and longer to close down. I gave up on uTorrent and went back to Tomato, only to experience similar, but LESS severe effects.Since uTorrent allows better control on download speeds, I thought of giving it one more time, thinking that choking my download speed would solve the problem. No dice. My iMac completely froze up, and after a force shut down would only reboot with the install CD.I have 2gigs RAM, 2.33gHz Intel Core2duo, and 35% of my hard drive free.I'm now wondering if disabling iPv6 in 'System Preferences >Network> Advanced' would do the trick? Anyone have any experience with iPv6 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoOneButMe Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I dont think IPv6 has anything to do with your problem. Or any torrent client for that matter. Sounds like your hard drive or ram is dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crescent Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 I have already verified the disk. SMART status is fine, and I did a hardware test as a precaution. It may be RAM, but then i would notice lags in other Apps as well.There are tons of reports on mac based forums about iPv6 disablement fixing a similar problem as I have described.

NoOneButMe Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 In that case, its not a problem with uTorrent, but rather with apple's IPv6 stack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szor3n Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 I can verify this bug (sort of) I'm using IPv4 on a macbook pro and 1.9.1.1 corrupted my file system. (i'm using leopard, 10.5.6) At first it caused system wide freeze-ups, but after a restart or two the computer wouldn't boot. This was with a clean install, and no other programs except the system processes, uTorrent and Safari were running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
