ineedhelp Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 heya fellas. ill come straight to my problem. in my absence, my brother keeps messing with utorrent, and thereby disrupts my downloads etc. my question is, is there any way to set a password to utorrent and lock it so that if i come back, only i can unlock and modify the torrents to my needs. i dont want to lock windows. any help would be appreciated. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Alderaan Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 You 'could' run µtorrent as a service and manage it through the webui. Requires some skill with service wrappers and all. If you have no idea what I'm talking about you might as well not bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xtex Posted September 18, 2007 Report Share Posted September 18, 2007 would boss key maybe work?Depending on how computer savvy your brother is, that might be enough to keep him from messing with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Alderaan Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 ineedhelp: I meant running µtorrent as a service so you bro can't reach it while you can reach it through the (password protected) webui. The webui can be opened on the same computer as µtorrent is running by going to http://127.0.0.1:utorrentport/gui/ see the webui subforum for more info.But if you don't know what service wrappers are you might as well not bother.

Xtex Posted September 19, 2007 Report Share Posted September 19, 2007 http://www.utorrent.com/faq.php#Does_.C2.B5Torrent_have_a_boss_key.3Fdoesn't really lock anything, just hides it. Easily bypassed if you know what you're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
