I'm in no shortage of disk space I have 2.5TB hooked up to this computer directly and a FTP server which has another 2 TB hard drive. But yeah the adjustable page file was a bad idea since in order to adjust said page file it requires even more resources when they are already in short supply. Also in 2 shutdowns I haven't had any problems. I am well aware of these things I have an A+ cert and have just been hired for a network admin position next year at my university. the new computer is Windows 7 64bit.

Also to be honest I have yet to touch my page file for the most part, I think its usage has sat around 200ish MB 300, when I'm running bit comet. I have 6 GB of ram and I have yet to see more than 3GB used. Also on a separate note when I rebuilt it I went from system managed, grows and shrinks based on need up to a point, to a static 9GB of page file available at all times.

OK I know what a page file is, I've just never head of it referred to as a swap file and no, I have not tried rebuilding the page file I'll go ahead and try that. Also the the OS drive is no longer fragmented. did it automatically yesterday. rebuilt and testing to see if it makes a difference.

I'm going to have to say no, on the grounds I don't know what that is.

You might be onto something now that I look a little closer because I seem to be having an unusually high number of cache faults with the number of faults/second remained over 100/s and up to 300/s for almost 30 seconds. I'll be running a disk check later but first I need to modify some computer settings so, I'll post those as soon as I can. Update: I ran a disk check on both hard drives and I double check the fragmentation and there are no problems on either drive according to the check disk and The fragmentation on the OS drive was 5% which isn't bad and on the drive I save everything to had 0% fragmentation.

My hard drive on both computers are set to defragment by themselves ever week, they haven't had over 4% fragmentation in a long time when ever I manually check. Also I find it difficult to believe there is a file system error on a fresh install of an OS with a full reformat. and to have the problems on both computers.

had this problem again on the newest version 1.21, however, I think I figured out the cause of the problem. I am now using a different computer than before, and I have had the same problem. I think what was causing this wasn't a bug of any sort it was a lack of cache to work with. Recently whenever I close I always check the disk cache. If it is low on space I have the problem, if I have more than enough to work with it closes without any sort of problems. and also I find I am having it occur much less often after I increased the amount of disk cache it can use.

Just wanted to mention this problem seems to have worked itself out and bit comet has been closing fine for the past week now. If I had to take a guess as to the cause of the problem, it was more likely a virus than a bug since it fixed itself after switching to a new virus software (McAfee to Norton) and Norton has been catching a lot more than McAfee did.

I'm well aware of the "disk busy please wait" gray icon but that isn't there. The icon remains the orange color it normally is and goes about its business continuing to upload and download until I begin to stop active torrents.

I am currently running 15 normally but the problem started when I was running 11. Also one other probably related bug that happened literally right before this started is it took the torrents forever to start up. Basically I would start 1 new task it works ok, I try to add a second and it doesn't add it for almost 30mins. Thought if I try and add the task again it says "it is already in the history do I want to overwrite?". I say yes and it still has the same problem. However, if I restart Bitcomet, the task is not in the task list (still missing), but now when I try to start up the torrent it works without question. I have Bitcomet set to automatically allocate file space for the files to be downloaded, but my harddrive has more than enough room for any torrent I download.

Version: 1.20 Internet: Cable Using Cable Modem and Linksys WRT54G Wireless G Router: A port is open for Bitcomet (I'm hardwired in at 100MB/s (shouldn't mater for this problem) OS: XP SP3 (Up to date as of April 15th) Antivirus: McAfee (Up to date as of April 16th) With the exception Bitcomet version and OS not much else should be needed, though if any aditional information is needed please ask. The Problem I am having is Bitcomet improperly shutting down. When I tell it to exit it prompts me whether I want it to close with tasks running. I click "yes", however, the client remains open. I try 3-4- more times to close and it still won't. The only way it will close is if I tell it to exit and then manually shutdown all of my active (uploading or downloading) torrents then it will shut down by itself like it should when I click the exit with processes running button. This problem has been persisting for the last 2 weeks though I have had this version of bitcomet longer.
