Run uTorrent from terminal

Hi, as far as I read the forum I guess there is no WebUI for Mac at the moment but it is in the ToDo list.

I'm fine with SSH =) But I could not find console syntax for uTorrent (Mac). I tried:

open -a uTorrent "~/Movies/someMovie.avi" "~/Downloads/Torrents/someMovie.torrent"

But it is not working. How can I run torrent from terminal?

You just got the syntax slightly wrong: `open file.torrent file\ 2.torrent -a /Applications/uTorrent.app -g` works. the -g flag means "don't bring this app to the foreground" and -a says to open the two files with uTorrent. You can also use `open test.torrent test\ 2.torrent -b com.bittorrent.uTorrent -g`, which will use uTorrent's bundle identifier instead of having to directly specify the app location.

There's no way to specify the save location yet though. So don't bother trying to pass one in. It will just tell uTorrent to try and open that file; open is a unix command, not part of uTorrent.
