Load uTorrent, uTorrent opens, Hangs (Spinning Ball), Closes

[koolgiy]

For some reason whenever I open uTorrent, it loads, freezes and then closes. It will do this every time I open the program. I recently downloaded a file with a bunch of torrents in it (over 10000) so I am pretty sure that it is crashing due to the number of torrents it has to load. Any idea how I can open it and delete the torrents off the program so that it will load normally?

The torrent history is saved in the file resume.dat stored in the folder %appdata%\utorrent.

If you erase this file, you delete all the torrent jobs from µT and µT will start with a blank main window.

Of course, make a backup copy of this file before doing that, especially if the issue is not related to that.

The torrent history is saved in the file resume.dat stored in the folder %appdata%\utorrent.

Actually, for OS X resume.dat is located in ~/Library/"Application Support"/utorrent.

Yep, sorry, I didn't see it was posted in Mac section.

I'm noticing that every time I open the program it just adds the .torrent files back into the programs Library folder. I rid of them (and the .dat file) but it just puts all the torrents back in the program as soon as I open it!

Do you have the client set to autoload torrents from a folder in the preferences?

It now loads with no torrents. Problem solved!

Thank you!
