Completed torrents are slow to move due to very low I/O priority

I've noticed that uTorrent 3.2.3 is taking a very long time to move completed torrents to a new file location which is causing the cache to fill up and torrents to stop downloading. I think this is because the disk I/O Priority is fixed to Low and should instead be set to Normal Priority. In earlier versions there appears to have been an option to change the disk I/O priority which seems to have been removed in later versions. When I force the process to a higher I/O priority using Lasso, uTorrent completes the file I/O process quickly.

I have been using uTorrent on Windows 2008 server for many years and have never had a problem before. While moving a file, Resource Monitor reports that the I/O priority is set as a Background Task.

If you confirm the bug I'd very much like to see it fixed.

It is fixed in 3.3/3.4

Thanks I didn't think to check the beta programme. I'll give it try.

Kind Regards,

Nick.

I think i/o has now so much priority that when files, especially large files are writen. the utorrent process goes into a Not responding state for a while. I write my files to a network location. This problem seems to be introduced with the current beta or the one just before.
