simko Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 Get"error:the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"Im getting this very randomly with pretty much every bt client and tracker.And i have no clue what so ever why it happens?Does anyone have any ideas how to minimize this error or erradicate it totally.Tried deleting utorrent settings and redownloaded the torrent with no luck.It downloads for a few sec and then i get this error.

Getthings Posted October 22, 2005 Report Share Posted October 22, 2005 I saw the same happen when I had 2 instances of uTorrent running at the same time.press CTRL ALT DEL and see how many uTorrent programs are running.Kill all if there are more than one and then start it again.

xroja Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 I saw the same happen when I had 2 instances of uTorrent running at the same time.press CTRL ALT DEL and see how many uTorrent programs are running.Kill all if there are more than one and then start it again.I only have one utorrent.exe instance open and it's doing the same thing to me. I have to keep rechecking and restarting the torrent, very annoying. It didnt happen to a couple of smaller torrent but this 3.4 gig one I'm on now is throwing this error constantly. Any other ideas? · I have google desktop installed but have excluded the download desitnations · I have an anti-virus running, maybe this is a cause? · Still happens on restarts · Everything else seems normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slayers Posted October 26, 2005 Report Share Posted October 26, 2005 Look into your anti-virus/malware stuff. It's probably trying to scan the file while it's downloading and locking your file.You can try the following to troubleshoot:Create an exception for the folder your downloadingDisable any realtime scanning featureDisable the anti-virus completelyUninstall your anti-virusJust remember to always scan your incoming files after they complete.

Segasonic Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 I also get the same error and it's only on certain files every single time I run the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 5, 2005 Report Share Posted November 5, 2005 wrong forum fergal, that's an XviD crash, go to the xvid forums or something for that kind of help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segasonic Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I found a workaround but still testing it.If you stop the torrents that have that problem before you shutdown the client, and then run the client when you are ready, they will work when you manually start them.Just be sure you stop them when exiting.With the latest patch it seems my problem is gone.I'll keep ya'll updated if not.

zuhairmahd Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'll be anxious to hear from you and everyone else, as this is something that just started happening when I updated to 1.2. Never had this with a previous version, and my computer is still the same in terms of configuration, except with respect to having installed Azureus last night (I have uninstalled it). I wonder if there is a relationship between the two? Are there any similarities between my situation and others having the problem? Thanks.

Firon Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Close uTorrent, give it some time (15 seconds), and try starting it again. If all else fails, restart. Should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhorsehymn Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Ever since I installed Google Desktop I recieved that error, then I closed it and I don't recieve the error anymore. Make sure it is closed while uTorrent is open!This has worked for me also. I was getting the error message every 10 minutes or so, but haven't had it since closing Google Desktop. Is there a workaround in Google Desktop, or uTorrent? Would be a shame to lose either one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben4444 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'm having the same problem, (I also have Google Desktop)I'll try and exclude the directory of the download from Google's indexing, before I disable Google Desktop completely.

goodhorsehymn Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Good thinking. I've stopped Google indexing my download folder and it's all working fine now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben4444 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Good thinking. I've stopped Google indexing my download folder and it's all working fine now.It was working fine for me 2, then one of the torrents failed.I'll try stop indexing the directory of the torrent folder as well, and see if theres still a problem.Otherwise I'll just exit Google Desktop while Im using uTorrent.

goodhorsehymn Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Your torrents aren't downloaded to a temp folder are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben4444 Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Your torrents aren't downloaded to a temp folder are they?I always set the target to My Videos, and the torrent file itself is always on my desktop.Unless uTorrent saves it in a Temp location before it transfers it across to My Videos, I dont think I have my files saved to a temp location.

1c3d0g Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I guess someone should inform the developers of Google Desktop about this...they seem to be very open-minded to fix problems if/when they arise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taromsn Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 I set the exception to Google Desktop, and it still happens. It might be a problem with 1.2, as I didn't encounter this any time before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otto Posted November 11, 2005 Report Share Posted November 11, 2005 Wow, this needs to be sticky or something, I searched all over yesterday trying to figure out this problem. Love utorrent, but really gotta have my Google Desktop too. Never had this problem with Azureus. Could it be because uTorrent seems to close the files every so often, possibly making google desktop think it's okay for it to open them? Seems like a simple fix: Don't close the files until you're finished writing them (or shutting down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
