I'm using utorrent and when I download bigass torrents [over 100GB] the program crashes a lot. After it crashes and restarts, it does a crc check. It can take a lot of time. Is there a way to stop the crc check or crashing?

Just let it start the download to get the file list, and then ctrl+click files you don't want to download, right click, "do not download" (or "skip", depending on version of uTorrent).

Nope. To get the file list, you need to wait, sometimes ten minutes. But I forget to wait and it creates blank files and eats all of my hard drive space if the torrent is big.
I know where utorrent stores '.torrent' files, but I need a solution to convert the magnet link to a .torrent. There is no other way.

Well then, go to Preferences -> General and untick "Preallocate all files".

I cant find this option. I'm using utorrent. But I dont need this. I need to convert it. I think its possible.

And also try this, it shoul'd definitely help



This means even if uTorrent preallocates a huge file for some reason, NTFS will make sure it only takes as much space as it is really required (e.g. if you are downloading a 20 GB file and uTorrent only wrote 1 GB of real data - all else being zero bytes - it will only take 1 GB of space on your HDD, thanks to this NTFS feature).

Yeah, I have diskiosparsefiles option in advanced. But still, sucks, that it creates files and then I have to stop torrent, then delete unneded files, untick unneeded files and then force recheck. Converting magnet 2 torrent seems more atractive.
