Force Re-check error

[Guest Chronia]

I'm running the most recent version of utorrent (according to the check for updates feature) version 3.1.3. I find that often is will finish downloading a file to 100% then it will say "flushing to disk" and stay that way forever. I have to then stop the file transfer and choose Force re-check from the menu. When I do this completely locks up the program and I have to shut it down using task manager because it does not unfreeze. When I restart the program the recheck is 50/50 whether it does the recheck or just sits there saying "checked 0.0%". It's frustrating because the file should be complete but it just sits there and does nothing and I can not access the download till it completes. Has anyone else had this problem or does anyone know a fix for this? It wasn't an issue with the previous version of the program but I don't know where to get the older version or how to downgrade and keep my download progress intact.
