advice on torrenting into a truecrypt container

[tummychow]

I've been trying to download torrents into a truecrypt container on my external hard drive. The issue is not one of speed, but rather of convenience.

I have set truecrypt up to mount the volume to the same drive letter when I log onto the computer, always to the same drive letter. In theory, utorrent should be able to see the volume and pick up right where it left off. As insurance, I stopped all the torrents in question before I shut down the computer. For some reason or other though, when I rebooted, utorrent started checking the torrent data again. After the rechecks, everything was there and it picked up as it was supposed to.

In any case, is there any way that I can set up the truecrypt container or utorrent itself so that when I boot up the computer, utorrent will pick up right where it left off? (ie without having to recheck the torrent on boot)

Are you always mounting the truecrypt container before launching uTorrent?

I kinda wish I could say yes, but I have utorrent running on startup (it's not running as a service though, so as i recall windows will only start it when i log in), and the volume mounts on logon. So not exactly. In theory, the volume should be mounted right around when utorrent starts, but I can't confirm that whole timing business.

Would it be easier to just not boot up into utorrent, and start it only after the truecrypt volume is online?

It would, actually.
