My personal suggestion if the normal (google) results do not fix your issue is to look for another torrent client, uTorrent IMO is nothing like it was a year ago, it is still a good client, but its not worth a crap when it doesn't work right for you. No clue what happened but uTorrent doesn't seem to be worth a crap anymore. It has happened when I attempt to open uTorrent from the system tray, attempted to add a torrent, delete a torrent, change the options, etc.pretty much any action (and even no action at all) can cause it to hang for awhile. I have tried reinstalling uTorrent both with manually removing settings and leaving settings there, as well as with no torrents at all. I think I'm going to give qBittorrent a try.I have been having a recent problem (didn't have it a week ago) where uTorrent will hang for 30-90 seconds, completely unresponsive, then suddenly come back to life like nothing ever happened. So changed to a different client and all is working again. Anything after that is suspect.Happened to me, tried all the fixes and nothing worked. 1.6 Standard is the last REAL version of Utorrent. Simply looking at who bought the program and who is now updating the code should be enough to convince anybody that the Utorrent we knew is gone. The backlash against Utorrent is not FUD. Too bad it wasn't made Open Source so someone could continue on the work in the right way. Bearshare, Utorrent, what's next? They are letting their money do the fighting for them and have ruined what was a fantastic product. If the RIAA and MPAA can't kill 'em, they buy 'em and reprogram them. Whatever happens from this point forward is no longer something he's involved in, I believe. There was one torrent in particular that was guaranteed to trigger the Disk Overload, and it had a high number of peers (365) and a low number of seeds (8 or so). I got fast internet almost 6 months ago but never encountered this issue. I don't see why anybody would want to, especially with the original author no longer coding the program. Posted DecemI've wondered the same thing myself. It has been actually the ONLY issue I have had with utorrent. I for one do not wish to support ANY effort by someone so chummy with the RIAA and MPAA, period. Not a single issue since that ' disk overloaded 100 '. If you wish to use Utorrent, I'd simply say stay with the 1.6 Standard final version and do not use anything after that release. The fact that Utorrent is now owned and being updated by people that have signed agreements with the RIAA and MPAA and NOT the original programmer, should give anybody pause. That version should be safe I believe and is still an excellent client. Utorrent 1.6 Standard, the last final build, was done before the company was purchased and the new code written.
