yep.... same for me. but only occurs when trying to preview video files on eMule and the system is pretty overloaded.
Otherwise runs clean with no bugs...

I had this problem too, the VLC player would continue to stream after closing the player.

I found my solution on the FAQ page here : http://www.videolan.org/support/bug-reporting.html

The Windows version of VLC has an entry in the Start Menu that completely resets your VLC setup. It is called: "Reset VLC defaults and quit."
(Uninstalling VLC does not remove it's old settings.)
Double check that your issue still exists.

Doing this fixed the run-on problem & also fixed
an intermittent hotkey issue I had.(hotkeys would work....sometimes).
hmmm....never smelled THAT before!

Where do I find that? I use the standalone version of VLC (no install)

If you didn't install it then you won't have that menu option...

You can do this instead:

Open a command prompt...
(Start menu->Run... Type "command", press enter...)

Change directory to where vlc is located...
cd "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC"

Reset the config by launching vlc with the --reset-config option...
vlc --reset-config

Then the config will be reset to normal...
(Replace "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC" with where-ever you have vlc.exe located...)
