Utorrent does not download background android

It starts with just one file called utorrent. Antivirus software can sometimes flag uTorrent when you download files from torrents. A common reason for this is if the file has a PUP potentially unwanted program which may be trying to take over your computer or hijack it with malware and viruses while pretending to offer something helpful like an antivirus scan.

Windows Defender or any anti-virus software in Windows are no exception. They often block uTorrent. There are many antivirus software out there. Once I restarted my phone and re-opened the uTorrent app, it recognized the peers and began downloading. Good luck to anyone else with this problem and I hope this helps. Hi, I had this problem too and read Pdizzle17's suggestion, so I thought maybe restarting the app didn't work because most apps don't shut down immediatly due to android's multitask ability eat it apple , so I used a task killer to REALLY shut down utorrent and restarted it: peers found!

So yes, restartin utorrent works! Just be sure to shut it down either by using a task killer, or force closing it at the app management at settings. Start new topic. Recommended Posts. MidCalMark Posted March 4, Posted March 4, Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options Posted March 5, MidCalMark Posted March 6, I've tried v3. It's a fast disk, even when writing to it. Can you repeat this behavior with a heavily seeded OpenOffice torrent to rule out coincidence please?

Hi, Yes I can repeat it easily. It is not a cooincidence. For instance today my computer was idle while uTorrent was downloading in the background from well seeded torrents.

It's the same every time. Even when posting this message, I have uTorrent running, and if I switch to have uTorrent in focus it immediately increases download rate. When uTorrent loses focus, the download speed does not drop immediately, but it slowly drops and it can take 10 min until the speed has fully dropped to a lower rate.

But I can abort the dropping in speed by just changing focus to uTorrent once in a while. I have tried everything I can imagine, including: scanned system for viruses Malwarebytes and none found, disabled firewall, increase thread priority to highest for uTorrent etc etc. I have no other tasks working in the background that compete with resources. I'm a computer engineer and have worked as a programmer for over 10 years so I am not a novice when it comes to computers, but this problem I cannot solve.

I still lean towards a bug in uTorrent related to net IO priority under win8, or related to uTorrent missunderstand the performance of my system and reduces rate due to some missunderstanding by uTorrent. Is it possible to enable more verbose logging in uTorrent? No clues? Found more verbose settings in uTorrent, but that does not help as I don't know what to look for. Have tried to reinstall uTorrent, but I keep getting the same error Ok, not much help in this forum, but I think I might have found the issue.

Just in case someone else run into this, I'm sharing it here:. One of the "tools" is Network iControl that is supposed to deliver "a smoother online experience".
