jonathonlane Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Help!I simply want uTorrent to start at any time of the day or night AS SOON AS MY COMPUTER HAS BEEN IDLE FOR 60 MINUTES.... just like a screensaver.When I an using the computer, I need uTorrent to always be completely OFF because it hogs too much internet bandwidth... But, as soon as it's been idle, I'd like it to lauch uTorrent.As it is, turning uTorrent OFF is no problem... I just Quit it.But I almost always forget to launch uTorrent before I walk away from the computer.I realize that, ideally, this SHOULD be a built-in feature of uTorrent... But in the meantime, have any ideas?For example, is there a .scr Screensaver that will launch a specified program just before (or in lieu of) launching a normal screensaver...?Also, Question 2: How can I get uTorrent to run on a Ubuntu Linux machine?

Firon Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 It won't be built-in, ever.As far as running it on a Linux machine, you need Wine installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultima Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Install Wine, download µTorrent, and simply run it via terminal using wine FULL_PATH_TO_µTORRENT (replacing FULL_PATH_TO_µTORRENT to wherever you downloaded µTorrent to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajones81 Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 jonathonlane, you're in luck! Look here or here (the 2 programs are different, even though they have the same name). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
