uTorrent Shutting Itself Down

[Stanleys]

I have noticed a problem with my version of uTorrent lately. Whenever I leave it to download something large that usually takes more than 7 or 8 hours, after some time of leaving it alone, I will come back to find that uTorrent is closed and the download has stopped completely. This is getting to be very irritating, especially when I'm gone for a day or so and I'm trying to download extremely large files. Has anyone else had this kind of problem and if so, how did you fix it? Also I'm using Version 3.4.1 Nighty (build 31105) 32-bit.

I can't answer this question for sure as I don't use uTorrent myself, but it might simply be because your computer automatically shuts down everything that's running after a certain period of time. If that's not it, I'm afraid I can't help you. You could try to see if you have the same problem with other torrent clients if you can't find a solution, that way you can know for sure the issue lies with uTorrent and not something else.

I don't want to sound like I'm forcing anything onto you here, but I've never been a fan of µTorrent myself. If you don't find a solution to this problem, I strongly recommend that you check out Deluge (http://deluge-torrent.org/). It's a feature-packed torrent client that runs on just about any platform, and it's open-source, with all the benefits to it. I've been using it for a long time on both Linux and Windows, no problems have been experienced on either.

If your torrents persist to take time I suggest you reduce your upload speed and slightly increase your download speed. In all honesty that has a big effect in which I think you will see changes.

Do you leave your computer running when you leave or do you suspend it?

uTorrent might shut itself down when you suspend the PC, I know my bit torrent won't download with my PC suspended although bit torrent itself doesn't shut down.

BitTorrent is pretty much the samw as uTorrent by the way.

It's on my laptop so I have the lid shut but I have the settings to where nothing will be affected if the lid is closed. I know this for a fact because I had uTorrent running for a little over five hours today while I was gone and there were no interruptions in the downloading process, but when I had it run last night while I was sleeping and some more time after that, around 13 hours in total without using my laptop at all, I came back to find that not only had the torrent stopped, the uTorrent window had been closed all together. I know it's not something with my computer since I've left windows open while my laptop was closed for longer than that with no problems.

Also to Mr. Meogii, the length of these downloads aren't really due to the up/down speed. Usually when I do something like this, it's usually only fairly large downloads, 30-100 GB, with very little seeders.

Strange then, i can only suggest you try with another client to see if it changes anything. I recommend Vuze.

Why not reinstalling utorrent?
