setotitan Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 I've had µTorrent for many years and have never had this issue. It seems that when I'm downloading a torrent at high speed my PC becomes slow and lags. In the past I could expect this from web browsing because of course I was using all my bandwidth to download. However now it's affecting my whole system, my mouse is 3-4 second behind when I move it and is jumpy. When I go to open programs they hang almost to the point of crashing. When I switch windows it takes a long time to jump between them. I check my CPU usage and it fluctuates from 50%-85%. To the best of my knowledge I haven't changed anything, it just started happening within the past week. I'm running Win7 Ultimate, Kaspersky AV, 2.99GHz processor, 3GB mem, with a mid range ATI video card, and I just upgraded µTorrent to 2.0 ten minutes ago because I thought it would fix it, however it has not. Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Is AVG using any CPU? Have you tried disabling its realtime scanner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
setotitan Posted February 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's using some, but it's not even in the top ten, using about 6,000k. Tried disabling it, no noticeable affect. Going to tinker with some of the other settings, see if there's some permission holding it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
