ronocod Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 HiI've been using µTorrent 3.0 Alpha for a while now and it's been working great until today. As soon as I started the program my RAM usage started increasing rapidly until my 4GB of physical memory was 98% full, and then it started paging to the hard disk.My only fix for the problem so far has been to suspend the highlighted thread in Process Explorer. This causes the RAM increase to stop, but the memory usage stays constant then until µTorrent is closed. Suspending this thread also causes File Rechecking to freeze in µTorrent.

ronocod Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Posted March 25, 2011 I stopped file rechecking that was being done on several large torrents at once and the bug seems to have gone away. I think µTorrent might be trying to cache entire files in RAM while checking, causing the huge RAM usage.
DreadWingKnight Posted March 25, 2011 Report Posted March 25, 2011 If it's not the utorrent.exe process eating the ram, it's the windows disk cache being stupid.
Aurelis Posted April 23, 2011 Report Posted April 23, 2011 f it's not the utorrent.exe process eating the ram, it's the windows disk cache being stupid.Same issue here :/ Updated to 3.0 Beta (build 25220) and noticed that utorrent is eating up RAM as long as something downloading. Stopping the download or closing utorrent instantly frees up the RAM. Tried different "Disk Cache" settings, enabling/disabling windows cache and setting cache size manually - nothing helped. Either settings do not work or issue is somewhere else.
swejuggalo Posted April 24, 2011 Report Posted April 24, 2011 Having the same problem with 3.0 (Win7 HP 64-bit). Although if the download/upload is relatively slow it seems to catch up and release the memory.Edit:Perhaps the file size matters most. 2 files at about 400 MB each at high speed without issues. The really problematic file before was 3.50GB.Same behaviour in the 64-bit alpha and 32-bit beta.
Eddie25 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 I'm having the exact same issue. uTorrent begins to eat my RAM until it hits 99% (4GB of RAM in my PC) and becomes unusable This has only happened to me in the latest 3.0 Beta.Windows 7 x64 OS
DreadWingKnight Posted April 26, 2011 Report Posted April 26, 2011 Is it actually the utorrent.exe process eating the ram or not?
bently Posted April 27, 2011 Report Posted April 27, 2011 Yesterday I noticed the swap was huge and computer response was greatly impaired. When I looked into it, uTorrent (v 2.2.1 build 25031) was using 1,400,000 kB of memory, much of it paged to the swap. I killed the process and restarted with the same torrents active and after it settled, uTorrent was using only 110,000 kBytes total memory. Currently, after 17 hours uptime, that has increased to 422,000 kB.
