dragonflyoh Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 I want to be sure a program, Private Internet Access, runs before uTorrent runs or downloads a file. Under Preferences Advanced there is a Run Program option and has an option of: Run this program when a torrent changes state. I need some help with the parameters. Any assistance would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schnurlos Posted July 11, 2015 Report Share Posted July 11, 2015 The only chance to start uTorrent after a program has started before is doing with a batch file where you can arrange the sequence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonflyoh Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thank you for the reply. I thought I could use the advanced preferences to set up an internal to uTorrent batch file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimB Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 I used this selfmade batch file to start Peer Gardian (and later Peer Block) to start my Utorrent client about 90 sec's afterwards. Change the program links to the exe of another program or change the ping value to increase or lower the delay time. You can also leave the "debug full" words. Also change to the correct name of your utorrent executable. @echo offrem Ensure that PeerGuardian is running before P2Pcd "C:\Program Files\PeerGuardian2\"start "PeerGuardian2" /B "C:\Program Files\PeerGuardian2\pg2loader.exe" debug full:: Insert delay of 90=91-1 secondsping -n 91 127.0.0.1 >NULrem Utorrentcd "C:\Program Files\Utorrent\"start "Utorrent" /B "C:\Program Files\Utorrent\Utorrent15.exe"exit "/B" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiusX Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 My opinion but peerguardian isn't going to protect you from ISP thorttle and DMCA letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimB Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Could very well be, but just wondering, what's the relation with OP's post ?Besides I don't use that anymore either, and the batch layout was just an example.VPN is the best I guess, but last time I checked it comes with a price tag.

schnurlos Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 The point of JimB was to show a working sample batch file and not the matter of peer guardian ...@echo off rem NEXT LINE MOVES TO THE FOLDER OF THE EXE FILE BEFORE STARTING UTORRENTcd "C:\Program Files\PROG_FOLDER_WITH_EXE\" rem NEXT LINE STARTS THE EXE FILE BEFORE STARTING UTORRENTstart "THE_EXE_BEFORE_UTORRENT_STARTS.EXE" /B rem NEXT LINE MOVES TO THE FOLDER OF UTORRENTcd "C:\Program Files\UTORRENT_EXE_FOLDER\" rem NEXT LINE STARTS THE UTORRENT.EXE FILEstart "Utorrent" /B "C:\Program Files\UTORRENT_EXE_FOLDER\Utorrent.exe" exit "/B" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radish Posted July 30, 2015 Report Share Posted July 30, 2015 PeerGuardian2 development was discontinued quite some time ago. However, the project was picked up by others and became PeerBlock. If you're going to download be aware that it comes in x86 and x64 versions, there is also a portable version (x86 and x64) available for download. Edit: Just noted after posting this that PeerBlock is mentioned in some of the other posts. I'll just leave this here anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
