Utor program slow.

[zee]

When I upgraded to 3.0 Utor runs well for a while and then it begins to respond extremely slow. Whwn I try to highlight it in the taskbar it takes a while to show anything. I can bring it up to full window but it is again realy slow. I can exit the program when it is maximized but then I can restart it after because I get a message that it is already running.

I restart computer and the same cycle happens over again. It downloads normal before it goes into this slug mode.

Any ideas?

Both logs please.

Also, is the CPU usage abnormal? How many torrents do you have loaded? How many are started? Memory usage?

I have discovered that this issue is related to Zone Alarm's vsmon.exe. if I kill zone alarm the vsmon.exe which uses 50% cpu whe th problem occurs goes away. I can restart zone alarm and the cycle continues after a few hours.

[DreadWingKnight]

Yeah, ZoneAlarm is pretty much crap.
