Bittorrent Frozen, Can Not Force Quit

[SFBrianT]

I have a new Mac Min running Yosemite.  Yesterday I quit BitTorrent and it froze. I tried to Force quit, but that didn't work. The dock Icon still says "Not responding".

 

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

 

THanks!

Open up the Terminal Application by searching it in Spotlight and then enter this command

sudo kill -9 `ps aux | grep BitTorrent | awk '{print $2}'`

This will exit all zombie processes of BitTorrent Sync.

 

You can verify this by first running this

ps aux | grep BitTorrent

Which gives you something like

moe           7093   4.5  2.3  3799924  94968   ??  R    10:57PM   0:03.19 /Applications/BitTorrent Sync.app/Contents/MacOS/BitTorrent Sync

If you enter the kill command above and run ps aux | grep BitTorrent command again you only will see the grep process

moe           7119   0.0  0.0  2432772    536 s000  S+   10:59PM   0:00.00 grep BitTorrent

+ you will see something like

kill: <high number>: No such process

This is ok and you don't have to worry about.

 

Please give feedback if it worked for you.
