Bittorrent is not closing down and when I try to shut down my mac it is prevented because bittorrent is still running. Does anyone know how I can over come this problem?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Press COMMAND-OPTION-ESC to open the Task Manager. Select BitTorrent in the list and click the Force Quit button. If that doesn't work. Open Activity Monitor in the Utilities folder, select the BitTorrent process in the process list then click on the Quit icon in the toolbar, then click on the Force Quit button.
If none of this works then hold down the Power button for 5-10 seconds and the computer will shutdown. Then you can restart. Running down the battery is not a good solution.
Try a different program like Transmission or check for a possible configuration option that stops the shutdown when Bittorrent is running (this may be desireable.)
Force quit BitTorrent (e.g., via option clicking the dock icon). Then contact BitTorrent to see why the software doesn't work correctly.

Force quit does not work either. Currently resorting to running the battery out and hoping it will have closed when I plug it in
Thanks Kappy, that worked. I was getting well annoyed about it. Thanks!
In addition to everything Kappy has said, have you seriously considered the alternative of deleting BitTorrent? To me that sounds like the simpliest solution.

Couldn't delete it because it was 'currently running'. But sorted now anyway thanks
Maybe now that you have it back undercontrol, it might be a good opportunity to delete it before it screws up again.
