utorrent is eating all of memory...

Now I can't said utorrent is lightweight and efficient:

It died:

Before died:

Peak memory usage was 462416K, VM size really big:1860108K (it have taken more later .. )

My system: Athlon XP 2500+, 1Gb RAM, 2GB Vm size on disk

All my setting according to disk cache are default.

As I remember 1.6.1 never died for me like 1.7.*

Not enough information.

Post a process explorer process list please.

Or a HijackThis log.

Anything else?

...

Today i tried to play with download speed limits, but it didn't work: I just set up download speed to 1000Kb after starting utorrent before it started to download anything, but anyway utorrent was downloading with 6Mb/sec:

There's a new feature that is ENABLED to allow unlimited download/upload speed to supposedly local seeds and peers.

It's under Preferences, BitTorrent:

1.Enable Local Peer Discovery (to FIND the local peers)

and

2.Limit Local Peer Bandwidth

Uncheck #1 and check #2.

hm, that sounds reasanable. I'll try and get back here. thanks.

Have the same issue.

I have unchecked that options with no positive results

Sayd,

In your "Process explorer" list before utorrent dies, I spotted this:

putty.exe

multiple times in a row.

I'm inclined to believe that's something hostile.

I also saw this unidentified process:

klnagent.exe

...Do you have Kaspersky Antivirus installed?

Type-R,

That's only to stop exceeding your upload speed limits, not other problems.

lol, PuTTY is an SSH/telnet client.

well, I just reinstalled my OS and installed utorrent 1.6, everything ok. think about that....

PS I'm still using nod32 and the win native firewal. do you still think the problem is not in the 1.7.x versions?!

do you still think the problem is not in the 1.7.x versions?

Considering I'm using AVG and not NOD32, and I'm NOT getting the same behavior, I still think NOD32 (or at least uT's interactions with it) is more likely the culprit.

Firon said: "lol, PuTTY is an SSH/telnet client."

That is all well and true, however would you expect PuTTY the SSH/telnet client to make a chain of putty.exe opens all at the same time that are nested together instead of separately in Process Explorer -- and all of them using dissimilar memory amounts?

It's not that hard for PuTTY to open itself over and over. It has a "new session" and a "duplicate session" menu item that are fairly easy to reach, and would do just that (open them up in a chain). The memory usage for each instance isn't all too dissimilar; the virtual size isn't what you should be looking at -- the working set size is

Ok, it's a "non hostile" in that its intent isn't hostile.

But would you rule it out as a possible conflict with µTorrent?

I've used PuTTY while running µTorrent, and never saw any such issues. I very highly doubt PuTTY would cause any problems with µTorrent, as it's just as self-contained as µTorrent is. I would almost definitely rule it out, but I can't say for 100% certain that it's not some combination of PuTTY with something else causing those problems :/

Nah, it ain't PuTTy. If it was, then me and alus would've seen a problem.
