It says "The requested operation cannot be performed on a file with a user-mapped section open." after a while of downloading.
I am guessing its some kind networking or hard drive or software program with my computer?
I dont use any antivirus or peer guardian software
I'm guessing something extra is accessing my torrents?
I did a quick google search and found some links
 
Try defragmenting your hard drive. It sounds like it's trying to overwrite a piece of your hard disk that's currently in use by a program.

Do you use TrueCrypt or have any TrueCrypt containers on your computer by any chance?
 
I ask because the only time I've ever seen something like that is when I was torrenting into a truecrypt container with a hidden inner container and write protect turned on. Even though uTorrent sees the drive space as "free", it's actually protected by the hidden truecrypt container and refuses to let you write new data, causing a similar error. In your case though, I have no clue. Even a simple computer restart might help.

You aren't trying to watch or listen to the file while it's downloading, are you?

Also, how much free space do you have left, and do you have "Pre-allocate all files" turned on in your uTorrent settings (in the General tab)?
 
Just right click and hit start. Whenever I get that message I just do that and it says that every so often in the download and just starting it up again normally fixes it for a while.

You are telling me to put a bandaid on a cannon ball wound. In all my years of torrenting I've never had any problems at all. Why should I suffer having to restart downloads every 15 minutes?
Preallocate was off
I have restarted all the time.
On this HDD I only have 335/455GB free
I HAVE NO BACKGROUND APPS RUNNING (NO ANTIMALWARE AT ALL)
I am a really busy person in which my computer is always working hard too so I will let ya know soon as I run a defrag or research this some more.
Thanks to all! CA_AOK it seems like you know your stuff, thanks
