okk, i'll paste a few helpful quotes from the forum here. see if it helps you.

I do use avg, win7 and latest beta of ut

What I have noticed (no specific done):

1. if torrent contains only big files - it does not hang up.

2. amount of hang-ups is proportional to amount of small files (I'm not saying that it hangs up 3. on every file that is less than specific size, but if you are downloading 100 of small images you will have to be sitting and clicking "resume" non-stop)

4. if torrent contains only one small file and it hangs up once it won't hang up again

It's only an assumption, but I believe when utorrent creates a file, stuff like resident shield (AVG) immediately tries to scan it, if utorrent finishes downloading that file before AVG finishes scanning it - you get a lovely error. Well that is not exactly my area, but something between these lines would explain a lot.

Anyway what i have done is excluded the folder where my partially downloaded torrent are stored from resident shield scans and it seems to be working fine (or I just got really lucky).

Hi,

I am running Windows 7 Build 7000 on my iMac (via Bootcamp), uToorent v1.8.2 build 14458, free version of AVG 8.0.237 (from March 6th 2009), no toher AV, spybot, firewall, etc.

Had the same problem with "user-mapped etc." error.

Just unchecked the "disable windows caching of disk writes" and it resolved the problem...

IMO the problem is (as Ultima pointed out) with any app that is checking open files...

Hope this helps someone...

"It's due to the Windows Search Indexer; it opens up to index the files, rar files are on the file type exclusion list which is why it only happens in the 'big sprawl of files' downloads.

Go in to the indexer settings and disable indexing on the download directory.

tribute22 has the best solution.

This is pretty definitively the answer. No Software incompatibility, Just windows sticking it's nose in an inconvenient place. To turn off indexing go to Control Panel, the settings are in System settings in vista I think. And in performance and information tools in windows 7. worked like a charm. Good luck.

Considering the fact that some users on Windows XP are also experiencing this issue, and that XP doesn't actually come with an active indexer enabled by default (unlike Vista), I'll have to reiterate myself:

There is no one application that's causing this problem. The only commonality here is that the applications causing this problem are monitoring file changes in real-time.

The problem is AVG and other on-demand virus scanners. I've found a fix to this that allows you to still scan the file when it's done downloading and doesn't involve modifying your virus scanner.

Simply go into the uTorrent options and select "Append .!ut to incomplete files" if this is activated then the files uTorrent is still downloading have an extension that AVG does not scan as part of its virus shield activities, however the .!ut is removed when the file is fully downloaded thus allowing AVG to "see" the file and scan it. By using this option you should not encounter the error anymore and still be protected when downloading torrents.

I run Windows 7 and came up with this problem.

My solution was just to disable indexing on the download folder.

Too simple really!!

but the thing is earlier also indexing was enabled and didn't get any error before.....I think its because of KIS 2011....
 
You mentioned that you are using 2.0.3 beta. Switch to 2.0.2 stable version and try. Beta versions are bound to give problems. Also the torrent may be unseeded or corrupted. Try downloading some other torrent with a good number of seeders.
 
^ please read whole thread before posting....

I have tried stable version also and tried bittorrent also.... both are giving same problem and ya i have disabled indexing also....
