marcus190 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Probably after updating to the latest beta I started having some problems running the program.First, when I run it, it'll start leaking memory without the window not even being open.It'll stay there for a while without making the window appear.As you can see, I disabled Avast for the screens so you could see it's not an Antivirus problem (I'm guessing).Now, last night I was able to make the program window to appear, I launched it and left it in that memory leaking stage and when I woke up the window was there. From the Logging tab, I think uTorrent appeared 40 minutes after I launched it.Dunno what to do... help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Did you purge the settings.dat and .dat.old files yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus190 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ok, deleted the uTorrent AppData folder and it solved the problem. Settings.dat was over 80MB. Now the issue is I don't wanna lose the torrents and locations I had. Is there anyway to transport them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Just the settings files, not the whole folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerox Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I'm having this issue as well. (actually much worse with the memory allocated getting over 1GB)It will also get into a state where it's constantly using CPU and hangs all the time.I've deleted my settings.dat and settings.dat.old files.We'll see if that fixes things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus190 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Ok so I just got rid of settings.dat & .old and like it says, only the settings were gone and the torrents remained and everything went back to normal, but...why did this happen in the first place? An 80MB settings.dat, why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerox Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I did the same and the issue went away.My settings.dat wasn't even large.There seems to be a known bug in utorrent which causes settings.dat to get corrupted..assumingly this happens sometimes when migrating from version to version.
