hibbs Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 My PC freezes consistently within a few minutes of starting uTorrent 2.0.4 (build 22150). Mouse control is lost and all other activity stops. A hard reboot is always required.I cannot find any error log files for uTorrent, I suspect the crash is instant and it cannot write any. As it stands now uTorrent is broken for me.I use WinXP pro, SP 3, PeerGuardian 1.0.0 and AVG Internet Security 9.0.861.Help appreciated Hibbs.The issue is defintely uTorrent's interaction with the AVG Firewall. If uTorrent is started with the firewall disabled all is well, the instant I turn it on, a freeze.Is there some setting that will avoid this?

Switeck Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Maybe you could disable the UDP-using stuff in uTorrent and even the multicast-using LPD?1st link in my signature.Also try rafi's uTorrent v2.0.X Migration Guide here: http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=74820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibbs Posted October 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 Thanks for your reply.I contacted AVG and after resetting all my firewall rules everthing has coexisted happily now for 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 So it was AVG's fault? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibbs Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 After much experimenting it seems the frequency of freezing increases with increased traffic. When uTorrent downloads are limited to 100 kB/s there is rarely a freeze. At 150 kB/s sometimes and at 200 kB/s within minutes. I have no idea which app has the issue.Hibbs.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I'm most suspicious of peerguardian out of what you have installed honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibbs Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Thanks, Soon when I don't mind a freeze I'll exit peerguardian and set the download speed to unlimited and report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hibbs Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I have tried Peerguard as well with same freezing behaviour. I also get freezes without either Peerguardian or Peerguard running (i.e. not started). Still communicating with AVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Try using Windows Firewall while AVG is completely uninstalled.That's the only way to rule out AVG at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
