Thanks again for your help brought computer last October replacing an amd 1.6g processor and was impressed with it. Obviously as it came with the seperate graphics card install and obviously the software including "nVidia Forceware Network Access Manager" was already installed. Since uninstalling it the whole computer is running better than it ever has even when it was new. Please don't call me a bitch again but I uninstalled the nvidea and then tested it and everything was good and as yet have not taken off Zonealarm, but will in morning.

I have finally solved this! It was nothing to do with my firewall or any other software except for the settings in utorrent.

The number of connections per torrent was too high on the default values so I lowered it to 50 (with four torrents active) I also lowered the uploads slots per torrent and my problem is solved.

I recommend everyone having this problem try this;

I think it has something to do with the firewall of the security software. Cause I had the exact same problem and it started right after I installed Norton Internet Security, after I uninstalled NIC everything went back to normal. It's been 3 days I'm using BitDefender and no problem so far ...

Hi all

I recently upgraded my machine to windows 7. I stayed on XP for as long as I could, and when I think of it I could still be on XP right now, but 7 has been out for a while now, and I decided to finally make the change since my brand new hardware is more advanced and so on.... I would of had to switch eventually anyway.....

my previous machine was a

Intel Quad2Core Q8200 (4x2.33Ghz)

4GB DDR2 800Mhz GEIL

multiple drives but the one being used for uTorrent downloads was a Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB 7200rpm 32MB SATA300

Windows XP SP3

µTorrent 2.0.4

being on a 100mbit unlimited line I sometimes downloaded 10 torrents at 150 connections each at the same time, reaching actual speeds of up to 9.8MB/sec. My system never even glitched, the hardware managed fine.

A couple of weeks ago I switched my hardware and now I'm on

Intel i5Core (2x 3.33Ghz with 2 threads each, so 4 threads)

4GB DDR3 1333Mhz GEIL

multiple drives but the one being used for uTorrent downloads is a Seagate SV35.5 AV 500GB 7200rpm 16MB drive, this is a special edition drive for video capturing, it can write at a sustained write of 140MB/sec guaranteed!!!

Windows 7 32bit

µTorrent 2.0.4

everything on this new system works like a charm! its very fast! except for one thing ===== µTorrent!!

in the beginning I didn't see a problem, but just as everyone here describes after an hour or so, my music being played in WinAMP started to have some glitches in it, which became worse every 10mins

I went to my PC to check what was wrong and indeed the mouse started skipping as well.....

Eversince I always experience this problem when I leave µTorrent open for a too long time...

One time I just left it running as choppy as it was for over 72hrs and when I moved my mouse again it didnt do anything, totally frozen up, not even my screen coming back, just black. I took another machine and logged in to my cisco catalyst and checked the traffic and networkwise µTorrent was still generating traffic from that machine, so it was still going....

After consulting the internet I bumped in to many ways to fix this problem but none of them helped:

- go into Options, Preferences, Advanced, Disk Cache and disable "Enable Caching of Disk Writes"

- go into the same menu and disable all

- go into Options, Preferences, General and check "Pre-allocate all files"

- configure µTorrent to always run in administrator

tried all this stuff, nothing seems to work

I will try and visit this forum regularly as I'm not to keen on forums, but hey

I'm running out of options to try, thats why

One thing I just read that was quite interesting is the fact that the poster is also running Avast software like me, i'm on Avast Internet Security 5 (which included also firewall)

Next time my system gets choppy again I will this time try to disable the Avast soft to see if this makes a change, instead of killing µTorrent again...

If the µTorrent team would like to have a box available via remote admin tools contact me personally, this can be provided

Cheers

Same problem here. I just converted an old HP Machine to my media server - specs are as follow:

* Windows 7 64 bit

* E4400 2 Ghz Core 2 Duo

* 4GB DDR2 800 RAM

* Intel Graphics (its a server)

* 1TB Caviar Green

Note - This is a clean install as of a month ago, and there is practically nothing installed, aside from Avast IS (and its firewall - properly configured), Windows Live mesh (faster transfers than FTP, SSH, VPN, or anything else I tried), and utorrent - up to date non-beta).

Upon starting utorrent, I get ~1.8 Mb/s speeds, and after ~3 hours I am below 100 Kb/s, and the system is virtually unusable - it takes several minutes to exit utorrent.

I have tried:

* Disabling all other Programs

* Enabling Cache Writes

* Increasing Cache Max to 2GB (I have a lot of unused ram and a slow HDD)

* Changing max connections - I have the same results with everything from 60/100 4 active to 300/1200 12 active

This resulted in uTorrent using more ram and freeing up the hard disk a little for my personal transfers, but it did not help the speed problem. If it continues I may have to schedule uTorrent to restart each hour - I leave this box for weeks at a time and don't want it freezing while I'm gone.

One more thing - I use the Web UI for almost everything. The machine is located in the basement of my house and I only use it when absolutely necessary. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.

Update: I've looked through the Avast statistics, and network shield activity tends to coincide with a slow-down. It may just be coincidence, but I've disabled it temporarily.

Hello, I had same problem. My computer slow down very much and barely could do anything on web, messenger, etc. when starting uT. I had the latest version of uT, and from half of year I had Zone Alarm Firewall & Antivirus.

Now, I uninstalled ZoneAlarm and is working very fine. I didn't had this problem from the begining, only after I updated ZA several times...I guess that was the problem(ZA itself not updating).

Also, I had smaller down rates, about half or less than now. I had that problem even if antivirus and firewall were disabled.
