uTorrent Forum

While uTorrent works perfectly under Wine on Linux (I've used it since 0.9.30ish to the latest 1.1.2), on the Mac with Crossover (I tried both Pro and Games) it starts eating 100% of the CPU after being in use for a while (eg. an hour or so). It sometimes goes back to normal after a minute or two of 100% use, but sometimes it hangs completely and a reboot is necessary.

Please note that uTorrent does not exhibit this behavior on Windows or on Linux Wine, but only with Crossover Mac. I haven't tried compiling wine directly on the Mac (my reason for buying crossover was to avoid doing that!).

Does anybody have any clue?

I don't know why it would be doing that. You can use Activity Monitor to see what process(es) is (are) using all that CPU. You can also sample the process to get an idea of what it's trying to do. From Activity Monitor's View menu, select Sample Process.

Are you using Tiger or Leopard?
