Screensaver/Power Management not functioning while downloads active

Recommended Posts

I am running v2.2 beta (build 21611) at the moment and have found that the screensaver and power management (switch monitor off after 30 mins) do not function when there are active downloads. I have unchecked the "prevent standby if there are active torrents" however this does not seem to make a difference. I have found it to be happening even in the latest stable release.

OS: win xp, sp3

Anyone else come across this?

Edit: See update below

I have version 2.2 (23071 latest update) and have this same problem.

I turn on my Notebook and my monitor will turn off (I don't use a screensaver) after 2 minutes of inactivity as it should. It will perform as it should under normal conditions like using browser, opening folders etc.

As soon as I launch uTorrent the monitor will not turn off, it makes no difference if uTorrent is minimized or maximized.

I have tested this 6 times over 2 days and the result is always the same:

uTorrent not running = monitor will turn off

uTorrent running = monitor will not turn off

Windows XP SP3

Thanks in advance :)

µtorrent 2.2.1 build 23274

XP SP3

On a similar note, the mouse pointer refuses to disappear in VLC full screen mode unless you minimize µtorrent to tray.

This started with the last build and still is acting up now.

I didn't try the fresh install idea mentioned above.

I was trying to save my electricity so i was tried to turn off my laptop screen.

I have version 3.1.2 (26773 latest update) and have this problem.

I am using screen saver Power Management and my monitor will turn off (if not started utorrent) after 2 minutes of inactivity as it should.

It will perform as it should under normal conditions like using browser, opening folders etc.

As soon as I launch uTorrent the monitor will not turn off, it makes no difference if uTorrent is minimized or maximized.

I have tested this man times and the result is always the same:

uTorrent not running = monitor will turn off

uTorrent running = monitor will not turn off
