My (dumb and simple) Command Line U/L Control Workaround

[user1313]

Hi to all!

Especially to all the µTorrent.com team which consistently deletes all feature requests about CL control of U/L speed.

To control µT you may use the string from your browser (WebUI MUST be installed!):

http://host:port/gui/?action=setsetting&s=max_dl_rate&v=200&s=max_ul_rate&v=200&s=sched_enable&v=0

i think it's pretty self-explanatory. Of course it requires authorization. So you may use little script (perl):

#!/usr/bin/perl

use HTTP::Request::Common qw(GET);

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $host = $ARGV[0];

my $port = $ARGV[1];

my $upload = $ARGV[2];

my $download = $ARGV[3];

my $username = $ARGV[4];

my $password = $ARGV[5];

my $scheduler = $ARGV[6];

unless (($host)&&($port)&&($download)&&($upload)&&($username)&&($password))

{

die "Usage:\nucontrol.pl HOST PORT U_LIMIT D_LIMIT USERNAME PASSWORD SCHEDULER(1/0)\n";

}

$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

$req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => "http://$host:$port/gui/?action=setsetting&s=max_dl_rate&v=$download&s=max_ul_rate&v=$upload&s=sched_enable&v=$scheduler");

$req->authorization_basic($username, $password);

my $response = $ua->request($req);

if ($response->is_success)

{

print "Done\!";

}

else

{

print "Error\!";

print $response->status_line;

}

And the you should run this script with perl interpreter and some command line options. For example, if i need to limit DL speed to 64KB/s and UL speed to 200 KB/s and turn on the scheduler on 192.168.0.1 machine with WebUI on port 666, username "Administrator" (Case sensitive!!!) and password "password" i will use the following commands:

Linux:

perl ucontrol.pl 192.168.0.1 666 200 64 Administrator password 1

Windows:

perl.exe ucontrol.pl 192.168.0.1 666 200 64 Administrator password 1

Notes:

* username and password are both case-sensitive

** host can be IP, domain, name in workgroup

They get trashed because every new thread is a duplicate.

Yes i know that. It's my nr. 1 request and i never posted an thread because search is working ))))

But it's a pity i must use such perversion.
