xtf Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 @Inf: Agreed. Not to mention it would be a one-of-a-kind feature for µTorrent (I personally haven't seen another Bittorrent client do this).XBT Client supports this (with a web interface and command line interface, under both Linux, Windows and other Unix-like OSs).

infirmus Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 What would be unique would be if there was a native service with no GUI, and a seperate GUI exe that connects via network to the service.It would be cool but I really dont think that uTorrent is oriented towards this...

InvisoSniper Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I have read the request and the tread following it, and I vote Yay. What better way to torrent then on a headless server, or on a multi user machine. And with a client we all know and love. +1; Put me down as a pro-service voter.

elguaxo Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 I think it is usefull for multi user machines and 'dedicated' servers. I like the request. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feci1024 Posted March 26, 2006 Report Share Posted March 26, 2006 +1 I totally agree with SledgeDG, and with others too...It would be great to have uTorrent as a service, for many many reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPepe Posted May 14, 2006 Report Share Posted May 14, 2006 +1, you should definateley implement this in the new version of uTorrent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borko Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 +1my computer is on 24/7, but other people are using it so I eventually get logged off. problem is that only I have permissions to access the partition where downloads are going, and if I am not there to log in after someone gets logged off, torrents will suffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernga Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 +1already got a server running 24/7 at home, would be great to be able to have it as a service... especially if you could connect to it with the GUI app via network, but I guess that's ( a bit ) far-fetched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebReaper Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Why not just set up auto-login? Works for me - system reboots, and everything starts up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
borko Posted May 17, 2006 Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Why not just set up auto-login?

cjard Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 So get a copy of Windows server. And what difference does that make if youve set it to auto-login as Administrator? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjard Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 I would like to see an option to run uTorrent as service as well. And i mean as a "native" service, not using srvany or a similar helper app.Define native? Who really cares if a helper app starts it as a service.. If you think of it in another way.. all apps are started by a helper app. its called WINDOWS. heck, windows starts another helper app (exploerer) that most people use to start their apps.. Apps start other apps all the time. What's the big problem with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inf Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 cjard, by native i mean processing the windows service commands (SERVICE_CONTROL_START, SERVICE_CONTROL_STOP etc) by itself, being able to interact with the current user by itself despite the fact it is running on local system account etc. Not really a definition, but i think you DO get what i mean.There are following problems running ut as a service using a helper service app:* you wont be able to interact with ut* the helper service needs to stay in memory, hence wasting resources without any need* if something goes wrong and ut crashes, it depends on the helper service if it restarts ut or not, with native service you simply configure it using standard service config* it depends on the helper service to report the right service status to windowsWasnt it more than enough ?

cjard Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 so for all those people moaning about UT service, how about they get together and create a UT service wrapper.. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sscoop Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 +1 this is indeed a very good ideea. i would realy like a feature like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atm999 Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 THis is a very good idea. As has already been said. This would work woonders for the multi-user invironment. I'm the onlyone with access to my torrent partition, but I get logged off whenever my wife uses the computer. The service should be run natively (it handles the commands it recieves as it wants to), should have a GUI that can work both on the local machine and over a LAN, should have a boss-mode-like way to open the GUI when a user is logged in so that people who shouldn't mess with uTorrent don't know how to, and should be able to run with permissions from a given user (assuming that user provides uTorrent with the correct password in the preferences). +∞ if possilbe (+1 if not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalShrubber Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Why would you integrate some program more tightly with OS than it is necessary? I know examples from antivirus software - they integrate with system so much, that when something goes wrong, and you are not able to uninstall antivirus you just have to format hard drive - happened to me. And that's why I hate programs, which integrate when not necessary – if implemented it should be build as optional feature (off by default).

pronkax Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 +1 Esspecially with the new weg gui coming up. I also have a dedicated windows 2003 server running. This would compliment my set up.All people that are against: there are no downsides to this option. I was using torrentflux but with the newest releases it became to buggy. I now use azueur but the new web ui from utorrent looks far better. if next to that the option "run as a service" is integrated, i'm surely gonna use utorrent.

nascent Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 +1The only people that are against this seem to be people that wouldn't need to enable it as a service in the first place.If you wouldn't use this feature then it doesn't really have anything to do with you, as it wouldn't be on by default.ATM I am in a single-user environment, but in the future I can definitely see using this.The only concern I have is if you had it as a service, then another user was logged on and needed to use something bandwidth intensive (such as a game), there should be some sort of priority system that would shift bandwidth from µtorrent to the bandwidth intensive program.

WebReaper Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 People say there's no downsides to this fix, and they're right. I guess it's more a question of priority - there's other stuff which could be seen as more important.Although I guess once the webui is out into public release, running as a service would make sense.

pronkax Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 @nascentAlmost every new Web Router has QAS integrated. This should be a solution in your case. This way you could give more priority to the gaming service then bittorrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WebReaper Posted June 8, 2006 Report Share Posted June 8, 2006 Most new sub-£100 routers don't have QoS. I can recommend cFosSpeed though, it works a treat for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
