nachotronics Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Hi guys, here´s whats happening to me:I run utorrent as a servicie, but as "local service", so no matter wich user logs into this computer, the client is always on and working . The problem is when i tried to install webui I cant find the settings.dat file for the local system user. I found the settings file under %appdata%/utorrent, but that one is my own user´s settings, the webui worked if i run the program as a normal user, but theres no way it will run as local service, since it doesn´t have the webui.zipHow can i move the settings.dat folder???Nacho------------------------------------------ -Question the answers- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa_fred Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 You can place all the files found in %appdata%/utorrent together with the µTorrent.exe file, and the webui.zip. Works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted November 4, 2006 Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yeah, that's probably the only way to do it.http://utorrent.com/faq.php#How_can_I_share_my_torrents_between_user_profiles.3F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachotronics Posted November 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yeah, IT IS THE WAY, I took my time to post this, but few minutes after i posted the first message i did that, copied the contents of the settings folder to the utorrent folder including also webui.zipThe cool thing is a set up the service not to interact with users, so nobody can see it except from the webui!!WEBUI IS AWESOME, i´ve been waiting to use it since i read it was in private testing...Thanks guys for you help!

duffman Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 any chance you could explain how you set it up as a service? i'd like to do this as well. people keep on closing uTorrent on me and i want to make it so that they dont know it is running.

Lord Alderaan Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 He probably uses a Win32 Service Wrapper. You can probably google that term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Alderaan Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Ow yeah SRVANY.EXE! But technically that is a Service Wrapper made by Microsoft themselves right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachotronics Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 SRVANY.EXE worked fine for me, but i found an app wich does the job easier "FireDaemon Service Manager"(got it from Demonoid) you can install any program as a service, and you can set up all the usual service configuration. I set utorrent to be a system service by not asigning it to any userThen i unchecked the "interact with desktop" option so its invisible to usersYou should use start "automatic" and upon program exit "restart the program"The program is mostly intuitive, you´ll figure out for sure, theres also many other options wich i dont use. Hope this helps... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
