MrM Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 Hi,I'm running uTorrent in Ubuntu 8.10 via wine. Since I have a dynamic IP on my ADSL, the connection gets dropped every 24 hours (by my ISP). When this happens, the system reconnects automatically within seconds, but I get assigned a different IP. Despite using a dyndns service and providing it in "IP/Hostname to report to tracker", uTorrent stops working after that and reports that the port is not connectible. If I then restart uTorrent manually, it starts working fine again.My question is how can I stop and start uTorrent via command-line, so I can write a script and put it in /etc/ppp/ip-down.d and /etc/ppp/ip-up.d respectively. I suppose, stoping it with "killall uTorrent.exe" would be a bad idea, as it will then probably have to recheck every downloading file upon restart? As for starting it, I have no idea how to do that in a way that it will start in the active X session.If someone has an entirely different idea for solving my problem, I will be more than happy to try it out.Thanks!

DreadWingKnight Posted February 10, 2009 Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 How long after the reconnect are you giving up and declaring the unconnectable state being unresolvable without a restart? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrM Posted February 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2009 I have tried waiting for hours and it still couldn't connect to peers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
