mikebell Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 Hi guys,Just upgraded to Version 1.5.13 (26628) and CPU is steady at 12% when idling. Previous build was between 1-2% when idling.Anyone else experiencing this?Is there an easy way to go to previous build? I trashed the old one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnSnark Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Hi,Can you provide more details of the issue? First, what is your OS? When you say 'idle' do you mean every torrent is in stopped state? What window is open in your client when CPU is high (All, downloading, label, RSS, or..?) Also please tell whether you enabled 'auto load' in Preferences, or if you have large torrents in your list (like 50 GB).Thanks a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcsbat Posted December 26, 2011 Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Sadly I've got to second that.Ever since the last 2 versions utorrent is pretty much useless because of its cpu hogging. The last update promissed a fix, and while it got better (or at least doesn't happen that often no more) the problem still persists.OS: OSX Lion, latest updatesOpened Windows: Downloadingcurrent number of torrents: 3, none above 10GBcurrent CPU usage: 79% (seriously comon...)start downloads automatically: ONautomatically load .torrents from: OFF(not quite sure which of the both you meant, more specific?!)As this is going on for months now I might have to look around for another client, which I'd really hate to But as you surly can understand it is really annoying to have your FAN work for its life, simply because you've got a few .torrents running (while they do not even have to run, like the initial poster pointed out)You could at least give us osx users the possibility to downgrade, by providing the perfectly alright version that we've been using before the last 2 (seriously, I beg you...). As there was nothing wrong with it at all.Don't get me wrong, I'm very thankful for all your great work it's much appreciated!!!!!Thanks for listening!kind regards,.bat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hauser Posted December 29, 2011 Report Share Posted December 29, 2011 Me too. Lion, 3GHz C2D, 8GB RAM, nothing else running but a fresh Firefox and Adium, uTorrent with no active torrents taking up 10-15% CPU and twice so far I've seen it ping 100% and stay there until I killed the process. 4 torrents stopped, biggest is 180MB, looking at All screen, "Start downloads automatically" selected.I last reported this problem 2 builds ago, and it was fixed in the last build, very frustrating to see it return again so soon.EDIT: said RAM instead of CPU by mistake.

nikitamaximov Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Had the same issue, managed to solve it =)My Solution was:1 Open µTorrent2 Go to Preferences3 Click on the "Directories" tab4 Change the "Automatically load .torrents from:" to where you download ".torrents" files to, in my case I had to change it "Downloads" (for some reason it was set to my user directory) Don't know how it had anything to do with such a high CPU usage (in my case it was %90), but it worked for me, hope it works for you =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RnKr Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I'm having same problem.uTorrent version 1.5.13OS 10.6.8Macbook pro (early 2011)I don't have auto loading, biggest torrent in completed is 12GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowgie Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I am new to using the client. So I downloaded the latest 1.5.13 utorrent client. I started with just downloading one TV series in torrents since last night and until today, it's still showing 39% completed and it's so slow or even showing inactive. Since it takes forever, I am trying to add a few more torrent series all in once. But the total of them are less than 20 gigs. Is it supposed to be a lot faster with previous versions? I don't get why are there both a uploading and downloading speed.I am using Mac OS 10.6.7, MacBook Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowgie Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Is there a connection set up that i should do to help in the improvement of speed? I don't see an option tab for preferences. I only see the preferences under the first column meny under "About uTorrent". But there are not much things I can do to improve the speed.

tmattias Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 Having the same problem, utorrent also frequently crashes and I when i start it up again it says it has downloaded 0% of the file so I have to start over again. I this isn't fixed soon I'm going to switch to another client.This topic was started over 3 weeks ago and nobody from the utorrent team has been interested in answering so it seems like they simply don't care about this problem.

kexbandit Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I'm having the same problem. Using my MacBook Pro which I got late 2011, so it has all the latest updates and so on... I'm also using the same version of uTorrent 1.5.13.My problem is when I open uTorrent, the downloads and all stuff will start and download at my "normal" speed, at about 600kbps. After about a minute or so the fan (?) or something starts to rotate and make just a little bit of noise, and when that does, the download speed decreases to about 10kbps.And then there's no other way to quit the application but to force it to quit. It also takes up, according to my activity monitor, 104% of the computers processor!Everything started when I updated my uTorrent-client. Is there any way to get the previous version instead?

antair Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 2.0.2 has again the CPU issue. Back to 23545 as the most stable and tiny one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebell Posted February 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2012 2.0.2 has again the CPU issue. Back to 23545 as the most stable and tiny one.I have to agree... 23545 is the most stable version I've ever tried so far. Doesn't use CPU when idling and it removes .torrent files after you've double clicked on them. Why every version of uTorrent after this has had so many issues is beyond me.And even the icon is a lot nicer than the later versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreadWingKnight Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Using the "Automatically load .torrent files from" setting is excessive. Unless your browser is incapable of passing the torrents over to uTorrent on click, there's no reason to use it.Having it pointed at a location with a LOT of subfolders and other files will cause this issue as well.

mikebell Posted March 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Using the "Automatically load .torrent files from" setting is excessive. Unless your browser is incapable of passing the torrents over to uTorrent on click, there's no reason to use it.Having it pointed at a location with a LOT of subfolders and other files will cause this issue as well.1) Why is linking to old versions not acceptable? It's your software and that version's the only one that works well. Other ones are more or less broken and use too much CPU and have all kinds of issues. uTirrent should provide old versions so people can downgrade when the new version screws something up. Q&A of Mac version is nowhere close to being as good as Q&A of Windows version.2) Most of the people in this thread (and other threads) who have CPU issues are not using "Automatically load .torrent files" option. Clearly the issue is with uTorrent and not with that option alone. Ever since moving away from 1.0 branch, CPU use has been 10%+ when idling and 70%+ when downloading anything with a large number of seeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Why is linking to old versions not acceptable?Because it's bad enough that we have to support three different platforms. We don't need to (nor do we have the resources to) support like 10 different versions of each. Providing old versions for download will result in MORE people demanding support for something we aren't going to be providing ANY development time to supporting. It's just a waste of resources all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
