You can't say exactly unless you've seen the source code and found the conflict... (You know, we can definitely never have a chance to see ZA's source code). So, let's hope that this issues settles fast... sigh

I guess from the look of it, I would suggest everybody to stay out of updates until it is "user-certified" safe... Sigh... Zone-Labs... BUCK UP ...

Quite good advice... But then I use Azureus (once in a blue moon, can't do torrenting on dial-up ler...), and there was no problem. My computer now is running fine. I didn't bother to update my ZA either. I am waiting until the coast clear sign from users first, can;t be a tester anymore, SPM coming... sigh, exams...

I've just had my third TrueVector shutdown. Apparently the problem is not simply utorrent's DHT Network feature.

I'm going to wait for the next update from ZoneAlarm or uTorrent before testing further. In the meantime, no more torrents for me.

I am using Bit Comet 0.70 and after I upgraded from 0.67, I always have this problem when I woke up from sleep. Then, I can't surf anymore but the BT is still running.

I guess the solution in your case is to simply stop waking up.

Kidding.

Upon further testing, I think I may have another workaround. I've limited the number of connections (global and per torrent) to 100 in uTorrent, and used the "Automatic Deny" option in ZoneAlarm's Game Mode (right-click on the ZoneAlarm icon in the system tray) when uTorrent is downloading/uploading.

Since doing this, I haven't had a TrueVector crash in 20-plus hours of using uTorrent over the course of a week. It's too soon to say if I've managed to isolate the problem but hope springs eternal.

I have a feeling ZoneAlarm 6.5.731 (unlike previous versions) has trouble handling too many connections. I would appreciate it if other users would try this workaround with other BitTorrent clients and report back if it works.

Maybe ZA is afraid rthat having too may connections might be a Leak Test case or Port Scan. Frankly, ZA should announced their alterations and reasons. Anybody using the latest update? Any problems to date?

The latest version 6.5.737.000 is still messed up for me. Long bootup/shut down time + blocked site list gets deleted after each reboot. The Free version seems fine though.

Everytime i start up my PC, it needed 5 minutes to let CPU usage = 0-10% as the svchost.exe always used 90% CPU usage..

Wonder this was caused by ZoneAlarm?

ZA, Resource hogger, well, not really that bad yet.. Though, what version and license of ZA you using?

svchost.exe, in my opinion is NOT related to ZA. It is suppose to be about Automatic Updates from MS. Please check for me. Thanks.
