dont give up man! I have the same problem I think...
I have been using utorrent for years but lately sound and music playing became laggy,
the task manager reported around 50% cpu usage but when I summed up the cpu usage of each program running (showing from all users ofcourse) it was only about 2-3%...
after eliminations (after looking really hard for viruses and rootkits) I noticed that its the utorrent. even after I kill the utorrent process it report the same cpu usage...
if I dont run it on start up all preformance is ok and everything runs smoothly...
even if all downloads are stopped and I add no new torrents it still "eat" seriuos cpu...
Im using win xp pro sp3. avg 8 antivirus...
I joined this forum hopefully to fix the prob..
I suspect faul play, so ppl please keep helping us!

Well, I think it might just be a simply read\write error to the hard drive..
I did the following and it works for now.. if you havent tried so far:
stop all torrents
reboot (make sure utorrent does not automaticlly starts)
turn on the task manager
now start utorrent..
if it still hoggs all the cpu let it sdo so for few mins and see if there is a difference
if not than arrange the downloads by size and start them one by one, each one see if the cpu levels goes up and then come back to normal... dont start the next one untill the previous one finished.. if one is stuck for a really long time (specially if its not a really big one) then it might be currupted...
some of the files might need to be "tested" if the utorrent crashed last time and some new ones just needs some time to allocate space...
if the cpu goes up and then back down to normal after few min then everything is alright and you just downloaded a really big file that errored while allocating space...
I really hope it helps, it did for me and Im now waiting to see if it stays as it should..
good luck

What is up with uTorrent? is it that bad? my friend suggested it to me ... I have a really good computer and uTorrent can make it lag so easily... thats so retarded.
My windows is Vista but still I think they should fix this annoying bugs all around. Whenever it starts download with good speed I get mega lags on my computer and things take up to 1 minute to load before lagging up again every 2 seconds...
I hope you get your problem solved.. im just gonna uninstall this incomplete software and get something else.. which im not sure what?
Flashget? I heard it sucks.. Bittorrent? what else is there?
