cagasbaj Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Hi allI formatted my computer a few weeks ago, and downloaded version 1.8.3.15728 of utorrent. As soon as I ran it the first time i noticed that the download speed shot up to about 1MB/s. I didn't have this problem previously, and at the time I figured that this was just a bug in the display.As per normal, I left my utorrent running 24/7, even if I wasn't downloading anything...At the end of the month my ISP told me that I'd used about 600GB of data that month - a stark contrast to the 100GB I normally use. So it seems that utorrent was downloading *something*, even if I didn't have any torrents running.I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the most current version 1.8.3.15772 just now, and exactly the same thing happens. Is this a known bug at all?I'm running XP sp3 btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serantos Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 How much HDD space do you have? If you are downloading something, it has to be going somewhere right? Find out where the last thing you downloaded was located and see if there is anything weird there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagasbaj Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Thats the problem - nothing is being downloaded. I've got a separate partition for utorrent downloads, and all of the files are accounted for, and are taking up the correct amount of space on the partition. I can't see any wasted space.

Switeck Posted July 27, 2009 Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Broken RSS feeds?DHT networks enabled?uTP and/or Teredo/IPv6 allowed?Uploading going on as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cagasbaj Posted July 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2009 Woot, it seems to be related to an RSS feed that I had set up. I deleted this and restarted utorrent, and it seems to be fine now.Cheers Switeck!Out of curiosity, do you know why this would happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted July 28, 2009 Report Share Posted July 28, 2009 Just broken RSS feeds are something I've heard about, I don't even use RSS feeds yet.What I think happens is instead of the RSS feed trying to send you the .torrent file/s, they try to send you the whole torrent!
