uTorrent constantly accesses resume.dat.new even when idle

I've noticed that if I run FileMon I can see uTorrent.exe doing the same open close query of resume.dat habitually every 10 seconds:

This is causing the CPU usage spikes that I mentioned about in a recent thread here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=70196.

I would really be grateful if someone could explain why uT is doing this and how can I stop these spikes? Should I delete the resume.dat.old file in uT's application data folder?

Strangely enough no spikes are produced when uTorrent is recorded as doing this:

What are your drive controllers current transfer modes? Have you created new rules for NOD32 according to the firewall and slow browsing threads on these forums? You

Thanks so much GTHK for helping me out with this, it's much appreciated man!

My drive controllers current transfer modes are:-

*Primary IDE= Ultra DMA Mode 2 (it has always been that)

*SATA Link controller, Channel 0= Ultra DMA Mode 6 (it has always been that)

*SATA Link controller, Channel 1= Ultra DMA Mode 6 (it has always been that)

*SMART readings state all HDDs are 100% healthy with good temps.

My NOD32 IMON is turned off but there is still an exclusion rule for Outpost firewall AND uTorrent (neither rule has removed the cpu spikes).

Regarding slow browsing, no I haven't experienced any problems with browsing. Firefox is not affected in any way.
