but instead of getting any appreciation at all, I get none. I provided EXTREMELY valuable information. They would rather complain and argue rather than fix a problem. and one whoopsie.įor many years, I have wondered why there were so many questions posted in this forum, but very few good answers. because they have made a LOT of improvements to Utorrent since 2.2.1. This isn't because the developers are incompetent. Surprisingly, Bittorrent has the same problem with the override as Utorrent does. otherwise this 7 year nightmare of crashing with the cache override would have been fixed many years ago.

Obviously, the current developers don't even know what many of the options do. which is why RAFI's settings are so useful. some of the defaults in the program are awful. When do I get my lifetime supply of Turtle Wax and a case of Rice-A-Roni - The San Francisco Treat as a prize?īy the way. That override of the automatic caching was the culprit. One reason I bring this up is because it looks like TronTV has been removed from build 45397. What I found doesn't fix the leak, but it does AVOID it. There has been a known memory leak in Utorrent under certain circumstances in all versions after 2.2.1 but has never been solved. or using Qbittorrent, Bittorrent, Deluge, Transmission, libtorrent, Vuze, and others. is the reason why so many people insist on sticking with version 2.2.1 of Utorrent instead of upgrading. this crashing problem that has been around for at least 7 years. and allowing Utorrent to automatically control the cache. the program was STILL crashing every 30 minutes! I then increased the cache size to the maximum of 1800. One of the main reasons I spent $4000 on a super computer is to eliminate these problems with 128GB of RAM. When I did that, things started crashing. Because of that, I did everything I could think of to free up more memory, including manually controlling the cache size and reducing the number of torrents I was seeding and other things. On my 16GB computer, I would often run out of memory. even today you RARELY find a computer in a retail store with more than 16GB of RAM). the reason why most people don't have the disaster of constant crashing is because the default is UNCHECKED - which is the setting that works.īefore I bought my new computer that has 128GB of RAM, my previous computer only had 16GB of RAM.

If you're now happy to let uTorrent manage the cache, one wonders why you overrode that option in the first place.ĭefault options are usually in place for a reason, and overridden at users peril.įirst.
