I'm up to over 900 torrents loaded in uTorrent 2.0.4. ~99% of them point to Subdivisions via a GB LAN, which has all disks set to never spindown. In the last six months or so, uTorrent has crashed multiple times, resulting in re-checks on up to 25% of the torrents. This takes a long time obviously, and is mainly just a pain in the ass. There's no single action that appears to be the cause for crashing.

 

Is there something weird about storing torrents remotely?

Could my issue be related to the older version (the few sites I visit have short client whitelists) I use?

 

Anything else I'm not considering?

 

P.S. Disk overload is a new "feature" I'm dealing with. We'll save that for another topic.

 

I use version 2.2.1 . Had a lot of issues with versions past that one for some reason. The ever famous Disk Overload 100% bug that I could never get fixed. The utorrent forum is filled with reports of it.

I do understand the version limitations presented by some private trackers, but use version 2.2.1 if you can.

There might be a better version that works fine without issues. I just gave up after a while and went back to a version I knew that worked. 2.2.1 is from early 2011. Some versions they started added in extra junk, that seemed to just bog the client down.

I managed to switch over to 2.2.1 (build 25110). That decision resulted in another crash of the previous version, then re-check of 130 torrents. les sigh

 

As expected, the switch resulted in loss of seeding privileges at one tracker due to 2.2.1 not being on their whitelist. Although, I stopped regularly using them YEARS ago, so it's no loss.

 

Now I cross my fingers that this version will play nice and run stable.
