IndigoAK Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm currently running uTorrent 3.3.1 beta 29692 on Windows 8 Pro (64-bit).I've been running into this issue for a while now and it's now getting to the point where it's affecting the rest of my computer usage. Basically, even after stopping downloads, uTorrent will continue to use 100% of my disk for an extremely lengthy amount of time. I am unable to kill the process in the Task Manager - I can right-click and select End Task, but nothing happens. The only solution I've found is to restart my computer without properly closing uTorrent.Here's a screenshot of the task manager and uTorrent to show that there are no active downloads (all stopped completely) and Windows showing full disk usage. In this screenshot, it's about 20 minutes since I stopped the last download, but it's been more like 30 minutes as I type this and it's still using the hard drive.(Edit: It finally stopped. It basically took like 40 minutes for uTorrent to finish whatever it was it was doing.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Just leave it alone to finish whatever it is doing, unless you want to risk corrupting the data! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndigoAK Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Leaving it alone isn't an ideal solution since this amount of hard drive usage affects performance. Sitting and staring at uTorrent downloads isn't the only thing I do on my computer. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndigoAK Posted May 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I do. Is this what's causing this to occur? Now that I think about it, it does only happen when new torrents are added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IndigoAK Posted May 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 I know what preallocate means, smartass. My incredulous response stems from the amount of time it seems to be taking to preallocate. It shouldn't take 45 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
