Juggernaut Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hey there.If the command line could be expanded, so I could via the command prompt stop a torrent it would make my day.Example for automating with this functionality:1) I'm downloading stuff.torrent2) It gets completed, stuff.torrent is moved into done-dir by utorrent, and utorrent starts to seed it.3) I have a script watching done-dir, extracting the content stuff.torrent-dir (minus .torrent) to a different drive.4) To delete the archive-files here automatically, I need the torrent to stop seeding. If I could run e.g. utorrent.exe /STOP stuff.torrent, wait for a few seconds to let it settle, and then erase all files except the extracted one, it would solve the problem.There has been previous posts regarding starting a torrent from web but I didn't know if that topic was suited for this request, I hope it's ok.

chaosblade Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Wouldn't that mean you wont seed at all ?As i recall, The files get moved when they complete DOWNLOADING, Not seeding to the set goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernaut Posted December 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Well I have so the files aren't moved when finished (except for the .torrent) so that means that the torrent will stop seeding yes. That was the whole point But I now noticed it worked anyhow. The files aren't locked as with e.g. BitComet så it worked deleting the file even though they were seeding. Although they became marked with an X and stated "The system can't find the specified file"... Which is even better because then I can see in utorrent it has been deleted automatically. So I take my suggestion back, I think it works fine as it is as long as it doesn't lock the files from being deleted when only seeding . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drpiety Posted December 4, 2005 Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 If the files are not locked then we need such a feature so that leeching hit and runners are stopped like Juggernaut even if his problem is that his script will re-unpack the done files.

Juggernaut Posted December 4, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2005 drpiety,I have seeded over 2 TiB and have > 2 in ratio so I think you should be more careful judging on something you dont know anything about... On public trackers with no ratio-enforcment I always seed at least 1.0 when I can (I am on public trackers on a microscopic level).*Edit To clearify, some of us can have a ratio >1.0 even when not dedicated to seeding... If I e.g. seed infinite, this command line enhancement will stop it when I am about to unrar it... It could men I can have 999 in ratio.. It could mean 0.1. The point was the torrent will be wasted anyhow, automatic or manually. I prefer automatic stuff like many others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixshot Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 I don't mind command line options to assist in operating uTorrent. Not sure how much that'll inflate the codebase but it's a nice idea to put in. If it's too much trouble, then I won't mind it being omitted.

drpiety Posted December 10, 2005 Report Share Posted December 10, 2005 I apologize Jugger but you must admit that your post sounded like a "hit and runner". Command line to set global up/down speed would be nice. You could start/stop speedup/slowdown by klicking on a shortcut you make on the desktop. I personally would make myself a macro that would slow down UT while firefox is running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
