uTorrent stops doing anything while I unrar or mount an image file!

I'm using uTorrent 3.2 and there is a strange problem for me. When i'm downloading a torrent file which is full with .rar files i try to download the 1st parts so i can unrar while downloading... when i start unraring uTorrent slows down to 0 kb/s until my unraring is stopped or completed... For me this is very annoying because i need to unrar the files as fast as i can and that slows me down very much... Where might be the problem?

Sounds like you need a better CPU that can handle both operations simultaneously.

File compression/decrompression is a highly processor intensive operation, so background processes get a lower thread priority while it is running.

If you are running Vista, Windows 7 or 8 check the processor scheduling settings. Setting "Background Services" should give downloading more resouces than decompression.

Though of course, that will mean that decompression will be slower.

AND more cores doesn't always mean "faster".
