µ1012 Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 I have created an encrypted file thru Truecrypt (www.truecrypt.org) and when I "mount" this file,it becomes a virtual disk.I would like to know if it is possible to keep a µtorrent standalone version inside this encrypted file and run it from there,without "talking" in any way with the other µtorrent standalone on another drive.I don't intend to run both at the same time.Also,will this 2nd µtorrent put anything into the "application data" hidden folder into C drvie ??[i have tried this already,but just as I launched it from inside encrypted drive,µtorrent pulled all "in-progress" downloads records from the original one.]I know all this sounds pretty bizarre,but I have read somewhere Truecrypt supports set-up of programmes from within encrypted drives and I mainly want to know the technicality of it.

Snapphane Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Not 100% sure, but I think it will work. Just make sure they have 2 different settings files, the one found in Application data. There are some guides floating around how to make µtorrent work on USB-drives and such, follow one of those and it should work. I think torrentfreak (http://torrentfreak.com) has one.Good luck!

Stone Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Just copy settings.dat to the same folder the second utorrent.exe is placed and it'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultima Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Indeed µTorrent reads everything directly from where the settings.dat is located, first checking the local directory, then %appdata%\uTorrent if nothing is found locally.

µ1012 Posted September 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2006 Thanks for reply,what I meant to ask was each time you "uninstall" utorrent and clear out it's folder from the "application data" folder and then a fresh install of utorrent is followed by LLF of HDD ??

AgentWolf Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 The best way to run μTorrent on your virtual disk as a standalone, is to make a folder, copy uTorrent.exe and settings.dat there, and to create a shortcut to uTorrent.exe by adding "/RECOVER" as a command line parameter. (e.g. e:\myfolder\utorrent.exe /RECOVER)Then, the only thing you have to do, is to start it always using the shortcut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
