Do you have roxio media indexer on your system? If so uninstall it. If you can't uninstall it, turn it off... start->run->services.msc STOP, then DISABLE it

application or file?

'1.4 I get "Error: Access Denied" / "Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process" and µTorrent halts the torrent! (Google/MSN Desktop, possibly some anti-virus software, Explorer's thumbnail view, may not be any of the above)

Error: Access Denied can be caused by numerous things. The most common causes seem to be Google and MSN Desktop. A possible fix is turn off the indexing feature, or to uninstall them. Excluding the download folders from indexing should work.
Another fix is to turn off diskio.flush_files, but you will lose the benefit of flush files (diskio.flush_files makes µTorrent close file handles every minute. This helps reduce the effect of Windows managing the system cache badly). Since flush files closes the handle every minute, Google/MSN Desktop try to open the file every minute, and this prevents µTorrent from writing.
The best solution is to uninstall Google/MSN Desktop.

WinZIP Quickfind has the same effect as Google/MSN Desktop. It must be disabled.

Roxio Media Manager and Nero Scout both do the same. They are installed by default when installing Roxio's and Nero's burning software, respectively. They must be disabled, or uninstalled.

It is possible that an anti-virus' real-time scanner may cause this, but there is no known AV that causes this error. If it does, the same fixes for Google/MSN Desktop apply (exclude the folder(s), uninstall the AV/disable the real-time scanner, or turn off flush files).

AVG7 may cause this, it seems to think that some files are a JPEG exploit (a false positive), and it attempts to quarantine them.

A third possibility is that you are viewing the folder while it's downloading, and Explorer is set to thumbnail mode. If this is the case, Explorer would try to access these files while viewing the folder in Thumbnail mode, and lock out µTorrent from writing. The solution is to not view the folder until the download is finished, don't use Thumbnail mode, or turn off flush files.
It's also possible that Explorer is trying to read the media files (MP3, AVI and so on) in the folder to make thumbnails, show you information about them, or preview them. You can unregister the media indexer (Start -> Run -> regsvr32 /u shmedia.dll ), and/or unregister the image indexer (Start -> Run -> regsvr32 /u shimgvw.dll ) as an alternative for either case, not view the folder, or turn off flush files.

A fourth possibility is that you set the files to read-only, which would prevent µTorrent from writing. This only affects downloading; µTorrent can seed files that are set to read-only. However, if the error appears when trying to seed, it may mean that the original files are damaged and are failing the hash check.

Error: The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

that's the error message i get.

Well to sort this error it is going to take some research on your part and eliminating possible issues. Since we do not know what programs you are running we can not exactly give you an exact solution. Here is a google search page where people have had the previous issues. Read some of them and see if anything relates to you. I would just be careful messing with anything you do not know about. Good luck

UTorrent: Error: The application is being used by another process - Google Search

Thanks a lot. i'll check it out when i get home from work to the computer i use to download.

I had the same problem with uTorrent and it was an old install of Roxio media indexer, mistaking torrent files for media and archiving them. Sorry I didn't google for you, just gave you my experience.
