Mu torrent womt download in background

I switched off the modem, installed uTorrent 3. Found out that uTorrent was the culprit. You can see it in the attached image towards the bottom right.

But Resource Monitor shows otherwise 10kBps. How is this possible? Also, when I opened up Task Manager, there were multiple uTorrent processes running. On ending the process tree, Resource Monitor network activity became zero, as expected. Why do I see multiple processes running? Another issue, which I was not bothered about, was the improper working of Scheduler in version 2.

I had it enabled to work from 2am till 8am, but uTorrent worked as if scheduler was disabled. I hate to admit that the above issues are the result of some wrong observation on my part as I have been using uTorrent for about 4 years. Enjoy your high speed downloads! Good to hear that. But it didn't explain why I saw uTorrent running from Task Manager while uT icon was not visible in the system tray. Anyway, to be on the safer side, I installed a program called NetBalancer and limited the bandwidth available to uTorrent.

No more unwanted downloads! Thanks once again. Yeh, that happens sometimes. My Win7 system is quite slow and it does that sometimes. There is not much you can do except try to run Utorrent again and then the app pops up as usual. Then Utorrent won't suck your internet connection dry. That probably will keep your system cleaner and faster then adding any bloatware to your system, as you will be controlling the IP speed right from within Utorrent. Are you having any issues with the number of downloading torrents at one time?

Or is it more a max download bandwidth issue? I always try to stay away from anything "watching" the network connection as it will slow down your network connection in general. As well, if your system goes sideways I have hosed servers in the past using network aware utilities like that and find it safer instead to use the utilities within the app utorrent or within Windows instead.

Anyways, that's just my 2cents worth. Each one has a quarantine section and settings for exclusion of certain process. Crawl back under the rock where you came from.
