How do I stop uTorrent when I have it open but no torrents in it?

I've noticed this for a while and put up with it, but now I want to know if I can stop it.

Anyways, I have uTorrent open all the time in background. And I see that while it is open, it is always downloading/uploading even when there are no torrents in it. Anyone know how to stop this from happening?

Thanks.

Preferences, BitTorrent...disable DHT (both kinds) and Local Peer Discover.

oh thank you, that did it

edit: wait :S I still see it downloading/uploading, but its at 0.0kb/s... but the total kb next to it keeps going up

Here's a picture of what I mean, there was no torrents in it either. it seems to go from 0.0kb/s to 0.1kb/s for some reason

edit again: I just noticed that uTorrent also keeps transferring even after I close the program (still with no torrent in it). I see this using my firewall. It shows uTorrent connecting to internet but I closed uTorrent already.

if this keeps going on, can I assume uTorrent isnt safe to use? I mean it is sending information whether or not it is opened/closed and even when there are no torrents in it
