"Error: Access is Denied" only when recheck doesn't get to 100% (already searched threads)

I am using Windows 7. I downgraded to utorrent 2.2.1 (recommended by multiple trackers after the bitcoin miner). I also really don't want to go back to non-intrusive versions of 3 because it's just a much cleaner and lightweight program.

 

I don't get this error when I download torrents normally. The only time I get this error is when I recheck a torrent and it doesn't get to 100% (99.9% is usually where it gets). When I try to download the rest I get this error. I have looked at numerous threads about this error and nothing in them has worked. I have full permissions (download folder, entire drive, and appdata), my user is the owner of the folders and files, I have tried running as administrator, I have disabled windows firewall and antivirus, tried putting the files in desktop/downloads. Everything that has been suggested in past threads.

 

The weird part is that if I don't recheck the file, and just download it from 0% I won't get the error. This works fine on small torrents, but I can't do this on large torrents because of my ISP bandwidth cap. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
