uTorrent keeps on trying to connect to internet

[amuk]

In recent versions of utorrent I can't seem to shut it off. When I delete any listed torrents, when I close utorrent down and when I use "Task Manager" to shut down any vestige of the program remaining, it still keeps trying to send. It is only stopped by the Windows 7 firewall that I have closed up after I'm done with the client.

Yesterday, I uninstalled it and it kept on sending until I rebooted and deleted the utorrent folder from Program Files.

What's up with this? It acts like "spyware" even if it's not.

What am I missing here?

Are you sure it's trying to send or is it other people trying to connect to you?

You're completely missing the direction of the traffic here.

What are you using to determine that this traffic is happening?

The Firewall (Windows 7 Firewall Control) says "outgoing from utorrent blocked".

And uTorrent isn't running in memory?

Utorrent must be running in memory if it's not listed under Applications, right? I couldn't find it in Processes or Services with a superficial look around there but what I'll do is reinstall it and look closer at this behavior, as a test.

Utorrent has worked well for me in the past and if it kept on running after I've closed it, I was able to find and stop it in Task manager but the last several editions including 2.2 have had this seemingly odd behavior.

Sorry to have bothered you. I just thought this might ring a bell with others. I'll post back if I have a clearer idea of what's going on.

Process Explorer show uTorrent still eating memory?
