flippertie Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 My daughter has just discovered utorrent from a friend. She rushed home, and installed it onto the media PC in our home. Unfortunately she didn't realise I'd already installed it....So she ran it for the first time, deleted all the existing 'old peoples stuff' and then completely re-did the user interface, preferences etc. I am not a happy camper!Q: How can I set up the Utorrent installation ( or installations?) so that two different users are completely separate? i.e. When I log on and utorrent starts I don't want to see her collection of horse pr0n and she doesn't start it and faint at my selection of justin bieber downloads...Thanks.nb The horse pr0n was a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball9 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 http://www.utorrent.com/faq/installation#faq4Do this for each version you wish to run. It will look for files in the executable directory before checking appdata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTHK Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Different user accounts will have their own sets of data, however having two clients running simultaneously is problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paintball9 Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Shouldn't be that big of an issue. I run multiple computers that way, Only thing you'd have to watch (and you still have to with multiple machines) is the bandwidth allocation, that it doesn't flood your connection and making sure all the port numbers are separate.

wallacehead Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 The FAQ linked to above, does not have into on installing a second instance. And when I run the install file, it simply opens the utorrent instance already installed.How do I install a second independent utorrent instance, with completely separate torrent and download directories?
