gargamon Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I'm currently overseas and keep uTorrent and the torrents and working data on a USB stick. Since I primarily use uTorrent in internet cafes I generally get a different drive letter each time I log in. This tends to break the downloads currently in progress, as I need to adjust the download path by hand to match the new drive letters. I've tried doing relative settings (i.e. ../../data/utorrent/etc) and just using the path without a drive (i.e. /data/utorrent/etc) and neither work. So the feature request is to get one of the above 2 scenarios to work. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 The only way to make that work is relative paths, and that's already been requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schnurlos Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 @gargamonSame problem here!Try this http://www.utorrent-deutsch.de/downloads/utorrent.batCopy this file on your USB-stick. Inside there is a dos command (subst) which allows you, f.e. to have a drive "U:" (in my case) for the path "F:\System\Apps\DBED856F-3498-411f-a182-3478b0e6e1ee\Data"So you only have to check if drive "U:" is free, and which drive your stick has (f.e. "F:" here).Make your settings in utorrent to the absolute paths "U:" and you're fine!Start this "utorrent.bat" on your stick, this makes the settings for "U":, starts "utorrent.exe" afterwards.The only thing you'll have to change in future: replace "F:" with your USB-stick-driveletter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djsam Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Thanks, great solution until uTorrent will handle relative paths correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Alderaan Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Since relative paths are implemented you don't even need that.When you add a torrent use .\downloads as path or set it as default download path in your prefences.It will download to the folder downloads in the same folder as utorrent.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crocosnail Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Since relative paths are implemented you don't even need that.Which version was the first to support relative paths? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 @Lord Alderaan: Are you sure that works if the current working directory is *different* than the executable's directory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted June 25, 2007 Report Share Posted June 25, 2007 Relative paths aren't really properly supported yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
