If I "close" the utorrent program, why doesn't it stop? I had about 15 torrents active, many of them nowhere near completion. Late at night, I "closed" the utorrent program (using the "X" button) and left the computer running. The next afternoon, I "started" utorrent again and found all the files had completed. I think there is a trust issue here if I can't believe that this program will stop when I want it to stop. Is there some special measure I should take to be sure utorrent doesn't operate in the background when I don't want it to operate?

Thanks @earnie for finding the right setting!

Try using File > Exit. uTorrent doesn't close when you click the X, it just goes into the system tray (becoming a background process, essentially). You can also right-click on the uTorrent icon in the system tray and click Exit.

You may be able to change this behavior by going into uTorrent's settings. I don't have it installed here, but I think there's a checkbox for Minimize minimized uT to tray. See this answer for a screen shot.
