uTorrent causes windows to use all RAM

[TsukiNick]

I have 8GB of RAM and for some reason, this machine is less efficient at torrenting than my laptop. I have 3 harddrives.

1. Sandisk SSD 250GB (OS Installed on here)

2. Toshiba 5400rpm 1TB (Thought this was the problem)

3. Western Digital Blue 7200rpm 1TB (Still uses all my RAM and crashes when I save here)

Running Windows 8 64bit with all updates installed.

Internal SATA or connected via USB?

uTorrent cannot use more than 2GB of RAM, and would crash before it got to that point.

What are your cache settings?

[TsukiNick]

Internal SATA for all drives

uTorrent causes windows disk caching to use all my RAM I believe. I only get this problem when using uTorrent.

Here's My settings

Had the same problem.

Editing registry to set all files used by utorrent.exe to have low priority did the trick for me.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\uTorrent.exe]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\uTorrent.exe\PerfOptions]

"IoPriority"=dword:00000000

"PagePriority"=dword:00000001

Or just download and run this reg file: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105248636/utorrent.zip

Doing this your DL/UL speeds will drop when your computer is busy on other tasks but I see it as a good thing.
