http://forums.degreez.net/viewtopic.php?t=4615 - I found this topic in the bittornado forums

I'm surprised this link hasn't been stickied. it took me a while to find it through the forums. here it is, it fixes the sticking-to-task-manager problem:

http://bittornado.com/download/speci...w32install.exe
This is a special install.


I have verified that the problem previously reported exists with BitTornado-0.3.10-Py2.3-w32install.exe. After uninstalling this Special Version, and reinstalling the "standard version" of 0.3.10, the problem is not evidenced.

Configuration is WinXP Pro, BitTornado 0.3.10, PeerGuardian 2, Norton AntiVirus 2005.

I hope this helps locate the problem - I still get the "leftover rogue" btdownloadgui.exe processes.
it seems other people have had this problem.
