Guys,

I'm on the verge of swapping torrent clients… Currently using uTorrent 1.6.1 and the latest versions but I'm getting frequent bsod and I suspect uTorrent is the culprit! I've tried everything; stock settings, new memory, but nothing seems to fix it? I've tried memtest86+ and my system is at least 15 hours Orthos stable. If uTorrent isn't running my system is fine, but with uTorrent I tend to get a bsod within a few hours.

From what I've read on other forums, it seems I'm not alone.

So I need a new client :)

Thing is, I only really use torrents for seeding – I seed overnight for friends and I don't particularly want to have to get sent all the files again when they're already on my system? Is there anyway I can recreate the torrent from the files I have and simply start seeding again with a new client? Is this possible?

Even if it is not, can I have some recommendations for best/most reliable torrent client please? Compatible with Vista x64 ;)

Cheers,

SW.
 
By default uTorrent saves all your torrent files in C:\Documents and Settings\[your username]\Application Data\uTorrent . You should be able to move them out of there and put them into your new client.

If uTorrent isn't working for you then you could try Azureus. It's a little more resource intensive than uT though.
 
Here's one:

uTorrent is the only thing I can think of that's causing a problem? When it's not running, my systems fine :(

BSOD's are only caused by hardware issues or trouble with system or device drivers. uTorrent cannot cause them. I'd look at what services and applications you run in the background such as AV and firewalls if it occurs only when uT is operating.
 
uTorrent is upto 1.8 now

All you need to re-seed with any client, is the files named correctly and in the right folder structure. Keep the .torrent files and data files and you can use any client you want.
 
C:\Documents and Settings\<Your username>\Application Data\uTorrent

It's ok, uTorrent keeps them for you ;)
