greetings,
i was using vuze and having problems for a long time, then 'upgraded' to Bigly and was okay for a while until it got the last couple of version revisions and am having trouble again.
can't get this thing to stay up for an entire torrent upload. it goes invisible but is still apparent on task manager. i then shut it down there, but then when i restart it, i get into another instance of it running and then i have 2 seeds going with one apparently nonfunctional. plus i'm getting alot of low memory warnings from the program.
i'm having to reboot this old harddrive more than i should just to put up a show.
i'm really frustrated with this damned program
plus i'm semi illiterate on the computer. (ports and all that are difficult to manage for me)
i ran a debug yesterday and it went back to a Windows 8 functionality and that didn't help much.
anyway, help would be appreciated.

mcaffee screwed me up this morning, took over the disk and ram, for what i have not a clue, probably just loading another commercial...
glad to be getting all this help... (make crickets sound here)

Dump the mcaffee, I rely on Windows' AV nowadays - no problems

i might try that when my subscription runs out.
except i'm getting solicitations from MS about their '365'
which i don't want.
is that required for the windows AV?

365 is really just the old Windows Office. If you don't want it do not subscribe to it, it's not required in order to run Windows which has an OK built in AV. Otherwise perhaps start here: https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-free-antivirus-protection
