exit9999 Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 I am using Utorrent 3.3Yesterday I installed Google Chrome (don't know if there's a connection) and this morning Utorrent had downloaded more than 20Gb of files I had not only not initiated but had never requested..........!!!!My Utorrent Settings instruct even the RSS files I search for 'not to automatically download'How could this happen?This has now exceded my download limit and will cost me money.I hope someone responsible for the Utorrent program is reading this and will resolve it asap.

DreadWingKnight Posted October 17, 2013 Report Share Posted October 17, 2013 Considering how little information you've provided about your settings, coupled with you not being on the current supported version, I doubt you'll get help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exit9999 Posted October 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 I am using Utorrent 3.3 (build 29625), when I attempt to update I am told I'm on the latest version, so...........................don't understand comment ' not being on the current supported version, I doubt you'll get help'As for extra info.........There are no settings that allow Utorrent to download files when a torrent has been submitted....I had no torrents downloading at the time so it couldn't have 'piggy-backed' on another torrentWhat other info can I provide?Never had this problem before, didn't think it was possible...Now can't trust it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafi Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 3.3.2 is latest. I guess being new, it is not on the auto-update server as of yet. http://forum.utorrent.com/viewtopic.php?id=137620Best use my below setting with it too, so to *disable* downloading more "offers"... BTW, 20G files of what exactly? Example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exit9999 Posted November 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I think I've resolved this problem.............UTorrent has a setting to 'not automatically download' but, this can be over-ridden by an RSS download if you don't also set 'not to automatically download' in RSS Downloader.I recently set up some new RSS downloads..............When I looked again at these settings the filter had been blanked and the 'don't automatically download' switch had been cleared.I assume this could then automatically download anything.......
